When I first learned playing Guitar, I focused too much on notes, specifics and techniques. The more I practiced, the more I realized that notes, specifics and techniques are important for producing good music, but not sufficient. So what was missing? The starting point of becoming a good artist is to have an emotion, an intent. Once you can touch the emotion and are intentional about it, tools and techniques are generally not difficult to master. Music played with technique may entertain us at the best but music played with emotion can move us. Unfortunately, most people do the inverse.

Drop the surveys and open your ears for employee engagement (Part 1).  . 25 years in counselling psychology. For 25 years of my life I taught counselling psychology at the University of Manitoba. Engaged listening is a foundation for counselling and I also believe it is a foundation for management and leadership as work has become increasingly social in nature and method. More listening, less surveys in employee engagement. With my current focus on engagement I reflected on how powerful engaged listening is as an approach or tool for engagement. One request followed by lots of listening.

By now, many college interns have started their summer gigs. Eager, bright-eyed and bushy tailed, they're ready to tackle the problems of the world, to impress their employers so much that job offers are tendered before the third week of their programs.

What are the core competencies for Human Resources? What are we expected to deliver to our organizations not only on a day-to-day basis, but strategically over time? Are we destined to be burdened with the transactional processing that is so inherent in onboarding and terminating staff? Do the benefits programs need to be administered as part of the HR department; or is an alternative vendor solution the most practical? How about technology.do we need to invest in onsite software solutions, licenses, updates, and even more licenses as our organizations grow? Hmm.heavy issues. No Excuses.

The image most of us have had of the U.S. Secret Service is one of stern-looking agents, whispering into their shirt cuffs and ready to throw their bodies in front of the president or other important officials to protect them from harm. He was met with skepticism by some Senate members and as a result, there will be a wider probe into the agency’s culture. They have to decide (read the rest here

I spend a lot of time discussing leadership behavior. For me, it far exceeds the other challenges organizations face each day. Now you may be saying "wait a minute, what about the economic turmoil, persistent unemployment, and industry-specific pressures that could create havoc?" You''re not wrong. But if leadership fails, you have no chance. "If leadership fails, your organization does not have a chance to survive.and by the way, you are part of that leadership team. I am too." Making Time I work in an industry that appears to value meetings in an almost cult-like manner. Really? No Excuses.

Today we have a special guest post from my beloved father, Gary Stollak. The words coalition and alliance have both been used, mainly, to label groups of nations in war efforts, constituencies of individual politicians, political parties, and collections of business and community organizations and the groups that support and lobby for them. These are alliances. Carpe diem!!
