“The brain will absorb only what the butt can endure.” -- Anonymous Who hasn't sat through a meeting and wished there would be a fire alarm (false, of course), just so the torture would come to an end? Raise your hand if you feel like you attend too many meetings, but fear proposing an end to endless meeting would lead to more meetings to discuss the issue? Being more than a lump of human clay.

I opened this short 17 question survey towards the end of last year and it temporarily closed last week. However I’ve not had time to do analyse the results, and having missed my deadline, thought I might as well keep it going for another week. The survey will now close on 29th January.

Lately I''ve been watching House in earnest. The basic storyline is this: A doctor with a genius for diagnosis is allowed an improbable amount of freedom to perform expensive, dangerous and often unnecessary procedures on largely uninsured people. Scarcely an episode goes by where a patient isn''t given an MRI, a complete physical diagnostic and blood workup and brought back from the dead twice.

Several years ago I received an odd request in my Inbox - "Join my network on LinkedIn " was the message. thought to myself, "what the heck is LinkedIn?" I wasn''t sure if I should accept or not. What was I afraid of? I DON''T UNDERSTAND THAT STUFF I seem to hear this response more and more when I discuss social media with my colleagues. Typically their fear is masked in criticism or a joke.

Let’s see a show of hands: Who has ever read an employee handbook? OK, I have, but only the ones I helped write. Mind you, I’m not implying that the employee handbook isn’t useful or popular. And if your desk wiggles it makes a great wedge. Now let’s have another show of hands: Who’s attended an New Hire Orientation (NHO) that consisted mainly of walking through the employee handbook? Well, not surprising, really, since it’s the only way to get people to read it. Far be it from me to diss the employee handbook or argue with the need to familiarize new employees with its contents.

Soft-Boiled Grumps. That''s right. Those people that have refined the skill of laying on a guilt-trip to pure art. They are so good, your eyes glaze over and you almost find yourself being impressed, until you realize how bad you feel. But why? How is it possible that after so much work with people day after day, we can fall so easily into the trap? leap head first into the trap. No Excuses.

Can you hear the collective groan when you launch that new compliance course? Do you get complaints both public and private from trainees about the uselessness of the training courses you've launched? Is there anything that can be done about it?
