People at work often socialize. Socializing at work is good for our health, studies reveal, and may even help us live longer. It's fun to talk Fantasy Football or the latest music or even why anyone cares what the Kardashians do. But there are times when, I believe, socializing at work takes a twisted turn. Like boredom. Or narcissism overload. Your hobbies. Great. Have fun with that. Your kids.

I''ve been traveling on a consulting assignment this week.very far from home and my team in HR. And to be honest with you, I''ve never been more thankful for the team back in the States. It''s not that the people I''m working with on this engagement aren''t good - in fact, quite the opposite is true. They are as dedicated and professional as I''ve ever seen. And for that, I''m thankful. No Excuses.

Dear Evil HR Lady, I work at a bank in a position that requires my reputation and work experience to be flawless. love my work. However, I have a fairly young, inexperienced, undereducated, personally offensive coworker who comes to the company by way of her husband accepting a position in the US with the promise that his wife would also be employed for the duration of his tenure at a certain salary level. She is unqualified for the job she holds. On a recent business trip, she informed teams at the other office that I was incompetent, etc. It is not going well.

Thanks to everyone for attending my session on HR 2.0 this morning. I’m amazed there was so many of you and apologise for those of you who had to stand at the back. And I’m pleased the feedback seems to suggest most of you enjoyed it (I did notice a few of you fall asleep, but I hope there are other reasons for that). And they’ll all be covered in my book – whenever I manage to complete it!

Sometimes leadership can be a lonely assignment. Add a few layers of complex relationships, regulatory interference, a host of third party interests, and before long the years are grinding along and you''re stuck in the same place. Let me state for the record that no one deserves to be in "that place." Lonely = Network-less Sometimes we come across leaders who, once capable and motivated, have now slipped into a state of perpetual plodding. Often they don''t even realize how far they''ve fallen until someone reaches out to them. Intervene - and risk insulting them and damaging our relationship?

The Direct Approach

ReviewSNAP

OCTOBER 7, 2011

All too often, managers are reluctant to clearly and concisely communicate concerns they have with their employees'' performance. Some try to sugar coat everything and others just simply stumble and fumble with getting their points across. Whether it is in an informal meeting to address issues or during a formal review, the importance of being crystal clear and instructive about any performance issues that need addressed cannot be overstated. Trying to avoid hurting an employee''s feelings is not the job of a manager. Being direct doesn''t mean being offensive or critical.

John Boudreau is another one of those not-such-a-favourite-of-mine academics , but my HR blogging friend in Singapore, Abhishek Mittal, has been singing his praises, so I’ve been looking forward to his session in Las Vegas. Boudreau has been encouraging us to think more like scientists – to get between the ears of our leaders. There are links between uncertainty, risk and opportunity. HR’s an art.

Despite all the wonderful content, my favourite part of the HR Technology (as is always the case with conferences) was meeting lots of new people, and catching up with existing contacts. Actually, I probably get a bit less of a buzz out of this than I used to – I remember the days in which meeting a solo blogger used to practically blow my mind. wrong, 2. irrelevant here.
