American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) recently released a fantastic collection titled “ The ASTD Management Development Handbook ”. This book provides current thinking on various management aspects by practicing management professionals. This is a very non-traditional approach to write a handbook of management development! I am grateful to Lisa for inviting me to write in this book.

I can''t stand the term good ol'' boy. I don''t mean the rarely used positive reference to being a southern gentleman; I''m talking about the negative, often exclusive connotation. Think white guys with chauvinist and racist tendencies. When I hear good ol'' boys and leadership in the same sentence it makes me want to hurl. That''s right. That power does not equal leadership though. No Excuses.

I was thinking hard about a powerful message to write. Something that would not only impact me, but perhaps touch others in some small way.

There it is — the email invitation from your manager suggesting a date for your next performance appraisal. No sweat, you think. You’ve been killing deadlines and kicking the competition for the past six months. But what’s that last sentence? “A self-assessment should be completed prior to the meeting.” Unless you’re a practicing narcissist, the idea of assessing one’s own performance leaves most employees either cold or confused. What if I underrate my performance and negatively influence my manager’s assessment?” “If I toot my own horn, won’t it come off like I’m boasting?” Be confident.

Today I was at SAP Forum in London. There were a couple of interesting technology oriented sessions (which to me, more than anything, showed the similarity of issues faced by IT and HR departments) and a few good HR ones (with a couple of less good ones too). More on my perspectives at the end of the report… So, Accenture do see an issue in the model (or in execution of the model).

Sometimes the process of transition is filled with posturing, behind-the-scenes moves, and attempts to secure power and control. But only sometimes. But sharing power only happens sometimes.

Many companies use E-Verify to cross-check social security numbers to ensure employment eligibility, but are at risk of costly government audit of Form I-9. Aurico can help. We frequently hear concerns about Form I-9 ranging from incorrect completion, decentralized completion challenges, manual paperwork processing and storage issues. Then there’s E-Verify. Verify is closely linked to Form I-9 and exists to strengthen the Form I-9 employment eligibility verification process that all employers must follow. Verify I-9

It has been talked about by the HR community for months, and now it has arrived. The New EEOC Guidance was approved by The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by a 4-1 vote. This month Aurico’s compliance corner in Nuggets features the new EEOC Guidance that provides clarity and examples to the previous Guidance. It is important to note that Title VII, which is the law, has not changed and that the Guidance is not law, but a guide for employers to consider when drafting policies and procedures. The new Guidance provides specific examples of cases and best practices. EEOC Industry News
