Reflections on Self-Selection Part II

I recently wrote a post about the importance of giving employees a more active role managing their own talent. Now I want to talk about how. Despite the availability of increasingly sophisticated talent management solutions, most companies today leave employee development largely up to manager discretion. And yet, study after study show we have a management skills gap. Pretty empowering, huh?

There'll Be No Cake in Hell!

AUGUST 12, 2010
Quick update: I was recently in California and stayed with a friend who has a really soft guest bed. returned home on the warpath and demanded that my husband Ralf remove the 20-year-old army cot we''ve been sleeping on and replace it with the Sealy mattress we bought while living in California, which I then loaded up with memory foam. He did this and promptly hurt his back, so now he has to go for physical therapy and we''re looking for a new bed. But my topic today is cake. gave him a list then immediately called him back once we hung up to ask him to pick up some cake. love cake. gender

Today I reviewed a whole bunch of slides depicting the employee lifecycle for inscrutable reasons of my own and two things became clear to me: 1) We do more ''to'' employees than they are able to do for themselves. 2) This needs to change. Consider your basic employee lifecycle: plan -->source --> hire --> on board --> evaluate --> compensate --> develop --> separate How involved is the employee in each of these steps? Let me guess: Somewhat involved during sourcing, on boarding, evaluation and termination. Which will only take the company so far.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I was just curious if you can be fired for having a sleeping disorder that causes mild narcolepsy? disclosed to my district manager that once I became tired (after a 10-12 hours work shift) it could happen. He was already upset that he heard that I was falling asleep at work. I had explained to him that I was off the clock out of uniform and was sitting in the office chair about to go home and I just leaned back and closed my eyes for a few seconds and an employee thought I was sleeping but I hadn’t been. It was a few years ago but I feel I’m still entitled to damages!
