I have to admit something. Despite my best intentions, talking about it, and writing on the subject, I have a heck of a hard time listening. Active listening - aka my arch nemesis - is a valuable leadership skill that I continue to work on developing. When you''re accustomed to making decisions and taking risks, listening doesn''t come easy. That''s not listening, that''s actually called ignoring.

Most of us have had feelings of jealousy or envy in our lives, but nowhere may it be more difficult to deal with than in the workplace. Of course you’re supposed to wish Jim well on his new promotion – even though you worked hard for it and you believe Jim is a slacker. No one likes to admit they’re jealous or envious of a co-worker.

I've always said that journalism was perfect for me because I never like doing the same thing twice. As my piano teacher will attest, I always treated the word "practice" like it was a dirty word. But I now realize that I do practice, every day. While I may write a different story or talk to different people, by writing every day I am practicing. Has my practice made me better? You bet.

Next week I have the privilege of speaking at the Minnesota SHRM Conference. My friend Josh Rock and his organizing team have been kind enough to let a guy from Florida invade the ( almost ) frozen North. I''m going to be speaking about HR Transformation; specifically, how my organization went on a wild ride and made huge changes within our HR function over the last year, and what we now have to show for it. The line up of speakers is a bit daunting, but I''m going to do my best to bring the No Excuses attitude to a terrific group of HR pros in Minnesota. No Excuses. photo credit.

Turn the back office function of accounts payable into a significant contributor to working capital. Usually, taking the discount is based on the AP invoice amount when scheduling payments. The smaller the invoice amount due, the less inclined AP managers are to pay early. But when AP managers view discounts based on the annual billings of the supplier, the subsequent savings should have the bigger impact on AP disbursement scheduling. And in terms of working capital, the cost of money today is less than the cost of money tomorrow. Approve payments 8.6.1 Process accounts payable (AP) 8.6.1.8

So, finally, the party conferences come up with something interesting - George Osborne''s "employee-owner" schemes allowing employees to forfeit employment rights in exchange for £2,000 to £50,000 capital gains tax free shares: "Get shares and become owners of the company you work for. Owners, workers, and the taxman, all in it together. Workers of the world unite." Interesting? - yes. An improvement? - I''m not so sure. Firstly, the upsides to the idea. Well, I''m definitely in favour of employee involvement and part ownership. But the idea comes with significant downsides too.
