Time to Release Some Endorphins

45 Things

Last week I was very busy and pretty stressed. The cats were upset because I wouldn't rub their tummies when they made the request loud and clear through constant meowing (I threw my shoe in their general direction and they got miffed and left me alone). The dog constantly wagged her tail in hope that I was stomping past her to get her leash and go on a walk.

"No Worse Than The Rest"

True Faith HR

Growing up in East Lansing, MI and the Michigan State campus, one of the more polarizing figures was one Mark Grebner. Thirty years before the advent of sites such as " Rate My Professors ," he was self publishing "Rating the Profs," a short paperback that was available for purchase at the MSU Student Book Store to assist students in avoiding the "harder" professors (several were rated as "A Real Bastard!"). He has also ran successfully for County Commissioner for many years under the slogan, "No Worse Than The Rest." Which made me think. Is this a winning slogan for HR as well? bad HR snark

Is Controversy Good for Your Career?

45 Things

I've been writing for newspapers since I was in high school. The reason I point this out is that I've had years (eons) to learn that what you put in print really matters. You've got to think long and hard about what you're writing. If you make a mistake, not only is it embarrassing, but it can haunt you for a long time. But many bloggers haven't yet learned this lesson. They're making all their messy mistakes in print (online), and it's sticking with them like old gum to their shoe. Here's a story I did for Gannett/USAToday on why what you write now may impact you for a long time.

Regrets Have No Value

NoExcusesHR

Really? No value? That’s right, none. How many of us can change anything in our past? Anyone? Can we learn from the past? Sure we can, I do on a regular basis. Do I sit around wallowing in self-pity because I didn’t always make the right choice or that I wasn’t picked first in gym class? No…that would be lame, and I hate it when I’m lame. Unfortunately for many people in the workplace, regrets are used as an excuse to whine about their lot in life. Listening to the daily meeting of Whiners International has absolutely no appeal to me. Take the first step and reach out to someone for help.

I See A Clear Path With My Narrow Mind

NoExcusesHR

Some of you may know I am heavily into hockey as a fan, hockey dad, and for the last five years as a youth hockey coach. As our team continues to improve and play against some of the highest level talent in the country we’re stressing the concept of peripheral vision with our players. Hmm, peripheral vision. The concept is so simple, yet all too frequently I find myself following my vision, or my plan, or my idea in my professional life. Am I really taking into account all of the factors, perspectives, and options when I make decisions? I’m guessing the answer is no. That isn’t a good feeling.

Know Any Chickens?

We all know managers who just don''t have the intestinal fortitude to bring performance issues to the attention of their employees when needed. These "chickens" aren''t doing themselves, their employees, or the organization any favors. Far from it, in fact. The damage done by these managers is almost unforgivable. We all know these kinds of managers.
