I'm one of those people who has written many times about the values of networking. It's good for your career, for your job search, for your personal brand, blah, blah, blah. For all I know, networking leads to better digestion and clearer skin. But one thing I'm really tired of is rude networkers. You may be a rude networker if you: 1. Stand me up. This has happened more times than I care to count.

Want to make a job go away? Then make it so complicated and regulated that no one can afford to hire someone to do that job and just like magic, that job will go away.

The way feedback is handled is vital to the way the messages are received by employees. It never ceases to amaze just how careless some managers can be in how they provide verbal and written feedback. During feedback about performance, employees have a heightened sense of sensitivity about what they are being told and with the normal "noise" that occurs in interpersonal communication, the stage is set for misunderstanding and hard feelings to develop. Being crystal clear when providing feedback during informal and formal interactions is more than just a little important.

Unfortunately there are a lot of managers who fit this description at least to some degree. Those who don''t tend to struggle with remaining enthused about their job and the organization. They care about their employees.
