I''ve spent the last several years reaping the benefits of an expanding social network. Through channels like twitter , facebook , Linkedin and foursquare I''ve met (both in real life and via these tools) many amazing people. My view of the world has changed, I have new colleagues and friends I can reach out to at anytime, and I continue to learn everyday. But what about the people I see everyday?

In an organization, work flows horizontally but organizations are structured vertically in hierarchies. With seniority and promotions up the order, a person tends to drift away from the place where real business value is created; the place where real action happens; where problems are clearly visible. They end up expecting results without caring about the process and its purpose. That’s where the promise of “Gemba” kicks in. Gemba” is a Japanese word which means ‘ the real place ’. Tom Peters defined this as “Management by Wandering Around”. We have fallen in trap of meetings.

I'm not a big procrastinator. In fact, I probably try to do too much all the time, which would account for waking at 4 a.m. and making lists and putting the pork chops in the dishwasher instead of the oven (multitasking is a problem for me.) Thomas Jefferson once said you should never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. It can be difficult to get everything done in our busy lives.

Conflict: "A state of disharmony between incompatible or antithetical persons, ideas, or interests; a clash" Sound familiar? It does to me. In fact, any HR pro worth their salt has in some part built their career on this most powerful yet often misused human trait. Typically the term conflict gets a bad rap, as our definition above would suggest. That''s a pretty good combination! Try something.

Yesterday''s post dealt with the issue of why we vote on Tuesday and its impact on the workplace. Another challenge is simple voter participation - how do we increase the number of people turning out to the polls? Civic duty has long been perceived as the reason most people vote. Only 56.8 percent of the voting age population cast a ballot in 2008. mails are useless. If those don''t work.what does?

Take the Drama Out of Compensation — Strategies for Honest Communication with Employees About Pay

ReviewSNAP

NOVEMBER 7, 2012

Negotiation strategies indicate that when both sides work together to share information, both parties come out better. When you hide information or believe the other party is hiding something, both sides come out with worse deals than if they had been honest. Yet, it’s in our nature to think we’re leaving something on the table. Then again, just bothering to ask for a raise can get you nowhere (or a knee in the groin). The Secret Life of an HR Lady” shows just how painful that compensation conversation can be. It’s a mixed message. Is the extra money going to pay off debt?

While I was at OpenWorld last month, Oracle unveiled what they called ''The New Face of Fusion''. I saw this when it was announced and also had a demo from the UX Team while I was on a visit to the UX Labs at Redwood Shores. The general idea is to have a quick and intuitive way to access the underlying Fusion Application. Desktop, Mobile, Tablet etc.) Well, this is a shining example of their work!

One of the classic pieces of management literature is Steven Kerr''s 1975 (updated in 1995) piece, " On the Folly of Rewarding A, While Hoping for B." Kerr''s central point is that the behavior that is often desired is not necessarily the one that is rewarded. Kerr highlights a number of examples: *War - In World War II, soldiers did not return home until the war was won. However, physicians over test and overserve, perhaps in fear of malpractice suits. While the student probably values the first option most highly, the route to tenure and promotion is through successful research.
