There are certain jobs I've had that I didn't like. The boss was a nut job, the commute was a killer -- and there was never much laughter. thought there wasn't much to laugh about because the culture was so screwed up, but I realize after interviewing an expert on laughter in the workplace that I may have been missing the mark. The list is endless. good sense of humor can help you professionally.

When I looked at the title of the presentation, " Social Networking in the Workplace: Untangling the Web of Employer Risks, Employee Rights, and Management Best Practices" and the person presenting the session was a lawyer, my hackles were immediately raised. Would this be a balanced presentation on social media, or one dominated by the dangers that would immediately strike fear in the audience about these tools. Unfortunately, the session was the latter. have no doubt Ms. Riechert is an excellent lawyer. She discussed what is social media. So, what was/were the issue(s)? For example. Riechert?

A recent talent survey published by the Economic Intelligence Unit reports a global shortage of critical talent. You can read more about what companies are doing to bridge the talent gap in my recent post Where Has All the Talent Gone? At the same time, public opinion seems divided about whether it makes good business sense to hire superstars , with superstars taking a beating in favor of solid team performers. To summarize an extremely complex and multi-faceted problem: We don''t want under qualified people and we don''t want over qualified people. Now, what does that remind me of?

“Practice makes a man perfect”, they say. Only practice is not enough. In business, have you seen people who have been doing something for a long time and still not very good at it?

There is a certain sense of freedom that comes with leadership. Often times we miss this piece as the burdens of big decisions, risks, goals, budgets, deadlines and employee issues monopolize our time. But it is the freedom we need to embrace. Take A Stand Now you may think that I have a somewhat twisted view of freedom. For me, having the ability (insert courage here) to take a stand for what is right represents a big part of leadership freedom. The tired excuses of not having authority, or a proverbial seat, or enough respect just don''t cut it. Except now you have the freedom.to No Excuses.

It took time, resources and money to put together and it fell flat. What did that feel like? Did you worry that you would look ineffective in the eyes of your supervisor, peers, and employees?
