I was recently with family who had several young children. It was fascinating to watch how curious they were about everything. It seems every sentence started with "why" or "how." Even though it drove their parents a bit nutty, I really wish we could hang on to more of our curiosity and a need to learn and understand. But the real power of questions comes from listening to the answer, he says.

Ego is a strong emotion and often, success feeds it. As we evolve as professionals and accomplish more, we tend to accumulate beliefs about ourselves (and the world around us). Soon, we start looking at world from the lens of these beliefs and decide what is right or wrong. Unfortunately, our world view is often skewed when it is only seen from the lens of our egos and limited beliefs. By definition, ego is a false and emotionally charged image of the self. At work place, personal egos between peers often result in situations where work takes a backseat. She thinks why would he not initiate?

Sometimes there is nothing more irritating than those trite phrases like “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” When you’re having a tough time in life, your first inclination may be to tell those full of such homespun logic to go suck a lemon.

What is your attitude when you come in to work? I don''t mean every single day, but generally how do you approach your Monday - Friday ( at a minimum ) life? Are you fired up; burned out ; or somewhere in between? Have you ever asked yourself why? Well Done Is Rarely Good Just like eating a good steak, serving it well done typically means the full impact has been lost. So too is our work life.

From a number of GREAT bloggers and authors I read, here are a few snippets of thought provoking insights – straight from my feed reader. Note: Important take-aways marked in bold+ italics. Michael Wade on “ What Managers Can Learn from Novelists ”. Recognize that life is not a novel. At least, not in most cases. The most powerful characters in life are the quiet heroes who support families, meet obligations, hone skills, and fulfill civic duties. The same is true in the workplace. Your most important employees are not the charismatic home run hitters. Hang out with the best. Read the best. ”.

When Workday was founded seven years ago, we completely rethought enterprise software as it was then known. shift was underway—one where a finance professional’s focus on accounting and transaction processing was evolving to include analytics and business leadership. On-premise software, built decades ago, couldn’t make the transition. So at Workday, we started from scratch.

Jason Lauritsen asked a question in his recent post about which dead person we would like to have dinner with (excluding family members). immediately knew who the person would be at the top of my list; but then took some time to dig a little deeper into who else might be worth it. It turned out to be a really long list. Famous v. Infamous If you frame Jason''s question as a challenge to pick one person out of all human history to spend a couple of hours with, it makes a simple question seem much more daunting. Can bad people be on the list too? Of course it would. No Excuses. medal of honor

It has been talked about by the HR Community now for months, and it has arrived. The New EEOC Guidance which was voted in by The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by a 4-1 vote. Duly noted are Commissioner Barker’s comments on her rejection to vote for the guidance without a public comment period. We are public servants. We work for the American people. What could possibly justify keeping them from knowing what is in this document before we approve it?” It is our recommendation that employers seek legal advice when putting together policies and procedures to conform to the guidelines.

Narrowing Skill Gaps for Employees

ReviewSNAP

APRIL 29, 2012

The employee without skill gaps is somewhat unusual. Sure there are superstars with few, if any, performance issues, but those are few and far between. Performance management should include not only the recognition of the gaps, but a plan to help close them. Achieving desired performance outcomes is at least partially achieved through accurate identification of performance gaps and the application of appropriate training and development to reduce or eliminate the gaps. Effective performance management processes include both of these important elements.

Have you ever said something, and just as those words were leaving your mouth, you knew you’d made a mistake? It’s not easy to take words back. In fact, it’s impossible. Since this issue could be applied in just about every facet of life, let’s focus specifically on the workplace. You can’t take words back. Watchers and Listeners One of the biggest challenges to leadership is not so obvious. The teams of employees in our organizations are watching what we do, how we react, and whether we’re calm under pressure… or not. Do you see what’s happening here? Did you think we were special? Really?
