Dear Evil HR Lady, I’m a recent college graduate and have been actively job hunting for about 6 months. As the number of resumes I’ve sent out approaches 300, I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong and how I can stand out among the hundreds of other applicants I’m competing with.

AUGUST 25, 2011
Sometimes the world of work gets.well. complicated. What was once a smooth operation suddenly isn''t so smooth anymore. The team that appeared to be on top of the many moving parts of daily corporate life aren''t quite as sharp as they once were. And the person at the top needs to do something about it. Yes, I''m talking about us. It''s Not a Blame Thing Far too often when the inevitable winds of change disrupt our work lives we start looking for a scapegoat. Who can we blame to quickly deflect any responsibility from ourselves? Well, that''s not how it works. Nothing does. No Excuses.

Why Your HR Manager May Hate You
Evil HR Lady
AUGUST 24, 2011
So, hate is a strong word, and of course your HR manager doesn’t hate you. You are a model employee. But, your coworkers–that’s a different story. Your HR manager most likely hates them. The reasons are quite plain–HR is tasked with both helping the business through recruiting, retaining and developing the best employees and with making sure the company is in compliance with hundreds, if not thousands, of laws and regulations around those employees.

ReviewSNAP
AUGUST 23, 2011
You bet we''re dealing with some rough waters in the U.S. economy. Organizations of all sizes are being affected by it and the importance of how they deal with performance of employees becomes magnified in tough times. But what do most organizations do?

The Bully at Work
45 Things
AUGUST 25, 2011
I was trying to think the other day if I know someone who has not been bullied in his or her lifetime. Seems everyone I know -- whether they were harassed on the playground or in the workplace -- has been the target of a bully. How each person handles that bully can vary, of course, but I don't think we can ever dismiss bullying as unimportant or a thing of the past. How did you handle it?

For anyone who''s taken a minute or two to read this blog you know I hate excuses. To me, 95% of the problems in any organization are a direct result of leadership. Let''s face it, our employees are talented, want to do a good job, and come to work every day hoping the organization is paying attention enough to give them the tools and support they need to be successful. Nothing. Simple. No Excuses.
Difference = Success

AUGUST 24, 2011
I''ve been thinking about the power of difference lately, and what it means to leadership. My organization has successfully recruited several new leaders who are going to bring fresh perspectives, experiences, and energy to "our world." We''ve also promoted others into leadership roles they''ve earned through hard work and dedication => and they''re doing great. But they aren''t quoting chapter and verse of the company leadership manual; rather, they''re bringing their unique approach to working with their respective teams. our way." I think this is very cool. No Excuses.

Self-Awareness as a Competency
ReviewSNAP
AUGUST 24, 2011
We''ve all seen it haven''t we? That employee with good intellect that just seems to irritate people and continually struggle to gain acceptance within the organization. It''s not uncommon to find employees who have had plenty of good coaching, training and help for whatever reason just flat out self-destruct right before our eyes. These are employees who have the brains and skills to do the job, but just can''t get along with others or are in some way more than slightly disruptive to their team. Let''s face it, just being smart in no way translates into being a good employee.
