A few months ago, I had the opportunity to hear change leadership expert Cheryl Cran at SilkRoad’s Connections Conference. If you ever have the chance to hear her speak, she’s definitely worth your time. During her session, she made the comment that “Leadership is the ability to influence others.” I’ve been saying this for years as well…so I tweeted it out. One of the reasons I like this definition of leadership is because it also implies that everyone is a leader.

You've likely heard that an employer brand can give your company the competitive edge it needs to attract and hire the best talent. But is this "employer brand" trend just another buzzword, or does it actually provide business value

Written by: Steve Glaser. Documentation is defined as the language that accompanies a product, often outlining its development, design, and technical language in clear, definitive terms. Whether you are working on building a business or home-based projects, documentation is critically important. When documentation isn’t handled properly, or even worse – doesn’t exist, problems will arise, especially if you are a new system administrator or new end user.

As businesses undergo workplace shifts and transfer of knowledge around responsibilities, there is often concern on how to bridge generational gaps. Many of our government clients have really started to address this through “emerging leaders” style programs and leadership academies. So as the discussion about Millennials in the Workplace evolves, we ask if they are really the entitled generation, or if that’s a misconception. What is it that they want?

A few years ago, I heard about the idea of career journaling during Ultimate Software’s Connections Conference. The idea really intrigued me, but I must admit I didn’t do anything with it. Then I ran across an article on The Muse titled “ 6 Ways Keeping a Journal Can Help Your Career ” and it reminded me to actually do something. So I decided that I was going to do a 30-day journaling activity and see what I learned.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about the idea of “cultureboarding.” The concept being that organizations need to educate new hire employees about organizational culture. Preferably during their onboarding process. Culture + Onboarding = Cultureboarding. After publishing the post, I discovered that some people found the term to be less than perfect. It reminded them of “waterboarding” and “brain washing”. One person said the term had a strong “drink the Kool-aid” vibe.

Many of us spend more of our waking hours at work than in the rest of our lives. It’s important to create the type of culture where employees feel connected and don’t mind spending such a huge chunk of their time at your company. The invention of the smartphone virtually eliminated any remaining line between personal and professional life. It seems we’re always “on the clock.”

What could be more important than realizing that the world of HR is on the edge of a dramatic shift that will literally change the entire focus of HR? Unfortunately, HR leaders are frequently so busy that most haven’t found the time to realize that “The War For The Future of HR” is already over, and “data analytics” has won!

I’m not really into collecting stuff but I still find there are times when I look around the house and see clutter. So I picked up a copy of Marie Kondo’s best-selling book, “ The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing.” Can’t wait to start reading it. One of the reasons I get frustrated with clutter is because I find that, when I have clutter, I make bad purchasing decisions.

On the playground when I was a kid, a classmate asked me what color the sky was. I told him “blue,” most likely accompanied by a condescending eye-roll. He then pointed out that the version of blue I saw might not be the same blue color he saw. I still remember how this gave me pause. As an elementary school kid, I had never thought about the nuances of perception before. I naturally assumed we saw the same version of blue because we were both humans with a set of eyes.

This was going to be my first big HR role, and I was really nervous. Fast forward to the interview session, and I was feeling a little more confident. Everything was going well, but then the president of the company threw me a curve ball.

If you check out a company’s profile on Glassdoor , one of the first things you see is the CEO approval rating. As an HR leader, this is a number that I was always concerned with as a signal for overall employee satisfaction. It’s common to hear stories about CEO approval in the news, and all of us have an opinion about our current and past leaders at the top of the organizational hierarchy. But what goes into that measurement and how do company decisions affect the ratings?

Most of us have been impacted by seeing people with great talent not get things done after we hire them. When we try to evaluate what's missing in those talented people, we tend to determine they don't have enough of the following things: DRIVE. AMBITION. INITIATIVE. What did I miss? I'm sure there are some other words that fall in this same category. Most of the time when people with great talent don't get things done, we point to these types of descriptors that identify some type of motivation.

You know it's true. Whether you're a corporate recruiting function, an HR pro trying to do 100 jobs (including recruiting) or a recruiting agency, you know you have room to improve related to how you submit candidates to hiring managers for consideration. It's all about influence and showing those people you know what you're talking about. Or at least you know more than they do. Managing expectations for hiring managers once candidates start flowing in can be a tricky tightrope to navigate.
