A start-up or a fledgling organization relies on individual heroism of their people to successfully deliver projects. These team members are enthusiastic, engaged and willing to see the project succeed. They are emotionally connected to the purpose of project/organization. Emotion is the basis of how they operate. Then the organization starts growing. To manage growth, processes are introduced. New tools are implemented and an org chart with hierarchy is established. Slowly, layers of processes and people are added and focus shifts to processes and practices. So far, so good.

It sometimes is one of the great mysteries of the universe that the most obnoxious jerk on the planet gets promoted at work while the nicest folks seem to get laid off or stuck in dead-end jobs. But it’s really not that big of a secret if you consider that Mr. Jerkface has exactly what the boss is looking for: bottom-line focus. Nice is good, of course. How many people will need to be involved?

Its no secret that HR is a female-dominated occupation. Attend any SHRM chapter meeting, and it is more than likely that there will be twice as many women in the audience than men. The Equal Pay Act was passed nearly 50 years ago. Yet, concerns about pay equity abound. Statistics, such as women make $.76 76 for every dollar a male earns, continue to be quoted. Recent legislative efforts such as the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the failed Paycheck Fairness Act continue to try to chip away at inequity. And then I read this: Sigh!
