I’m not a boxing fan. I’m not a Mixed-Martial-Arts fan nor a UFC fan. I am a fan of great theatre, however, so I was interested to see the outcome of the Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather, Jr., match this Saturday. McGregor, the 29-year-old UFC lightweight champion, took on Mayweather, the iconic, 40-year-old, undefeated world boxing champion, in what was …
Just when we thought the hype about millennials might die down to a dull roar so we could get back to treating people like, well, people, some consultant needed to make another yacht payment and created a “new” generational cohort. One they could ride for a couple more years until they create something new for corporate HR to feel stupid …
I wish I wrote better headlines. A great headline assures readership no matter how poorly written and researched a post/article is. I could have put a number in it I suppose. Those always get pretty good play. Maybe I should have said “The #1 Reason to Put a Fork in Millennials – They’re Done.” Prolly would have been totes better. …
You probably saw the internet dust-up a few weeks ago when Talia Jane (formerly of Yelp) posted an Open Letter to My CEO where, among other things, she complained about low pay, a slow path to promotion and flavored coconut water. It seems the only thing that people agreed with her on is that flavored coconut water sucks (it really …
If you read my bio, you know I’m a music fan. In particular, I get excited by loud, vibrant and heart-stopping tunes. So when a former colleague messaged me he was touring with AC/DC and they’d be in Houston, I had no shame in asking (ok… begging) him for tickets. Not only did we have amazing seats, but he also hooked …
I had an HR Pro who totally “gets it”—whom I really, really like and completely respect—tell me he doesn’t do Facebook. Hmmm. Actually, I get it and don’t hold it against him. And I imagine many of you HR pros don’t do Facebook either. I don’t judge. In this conversation I quickly told him I’m addicted. Well, in many ways …
I am just home from Las Vegas. My meetings coincided with the SHRM Annual Conference, and I was able to meet human resources leaders from around the world who talked about attending sessions about executive compensation, defined benefit pension plans, and social media. You know who I didn’t meet? Talent acquisition professionals under the age of thirty. There’s a quirky …
The NBA Championship is over, yet there is a lot of chatter about the tense relationship between LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers coach, David Blatt. After observations regarding body language and confirmation that James called for substitutions and dismissed plays, more and more is being made about the deteriorating relationship. Larry Brown, long-time coach of many stars like Reggie …
Whatever… I know it’s late. But my turn wasn’t up yet. Still, despite the late timing, I can’t let my opportunity pass without paying homage to the one and only Leonard Nimoy. I grew up with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock—a beautiful 1970s bromance. Captain Kirk was the epitome of leadership. He was strong. He was decisive. He was good …
What?!? Oh yeah, I’m serious! I want HR Managers to be over 40. But I have a method to that madness as millenials start to curse me out. It’s the experience factor… both of life and work. I look at HR, and I see an industry encumbered by policies, rules and regulations. Get your Bachelor’s, your Master’s and a PHR. …
