I have the privilege of experiencing a bunch of cool things in my work. Sometimes they''re frustrating, and sometimes they''re wonderful success stories; but mostly I get to work with a great group of dedicated HR professionals who are pushing hard to make a difference each day.

You are moving too fast. Overwhelmed with everything, good or bad, happening around. Trying to figure out what’s really going on. Addressing the issues and responding to constantly changing (and often conflicting) demands of business. You are also overwhelmed by the whole notion of survival – that the best wins. This notion puts you on a treadmill where you keep worrying without really going anywhere. You are constantly trying to hone your skills, learn as much as possible and clear those coveted certifications. Then there are external expectations. Knowing you, people expect you to do wonders.

This afternoon I’m at an update meeting of the engagement ‘gurus’ supporting the UK’s Engaging for Success taskforce. think the picture above falls into the same trap, suggesting that the guru group’s role is communicating the vision, rather than being involved in developing this. Engagement comes from involvement, and I think this group needs to role model what it is promulgating.

I''m a big fan of milestones. They don''t really do anything, nor do they last for more than a brief moment in time. But milestones represent important things in life. Sometimes they are a major accomplishment such as years of service with the same employer. Other times they are reached when college degrees, professional certifications, or a promotion comes through. No Excuses. photo credit.

Two weeks of the NFL season are in the books. Are you enjoying the slow-paced action as replacement refs try to figure out what is going on? Difficulty spotting the ball, clock operation mishaps, and some basic misunderstanding of the rule book have made a typical fall Sunday afternoon somewhat less enjoyable.particularly if your team is on the losing end of a bad call. believe there is almost universal accord that the current replacement refs are not working. But, a larger lesson to be drawn is that, perhaps, not all human resources are easily replaceable. Be careful what you wish for.
