I’m ending one of the worst two weeks in my recent past. It all started on my birthday – and not just because I’m freak’n old! I was driving back from speaking at HR Southwest (THAT was actually a blast) when the chairman of a client called to tel buy levitra online l me he didn’t like the terms his …
OK – let’s get this out first – you’re a star. You’re trolling the web for ways to get better at the Talent game and interact – that’s why you’re here. As Eddie Vedder once said – “This is not for you.” Then again maybe it is. Tim Sackett and I did a presentation at SHRM. It had a fancy …
As an HR Professional I can’t tell you how many times over the past 2 decades I’ve either read or listen to some conference speaker go on poetically about how you need to “do what you love to at work.” I’ve always called bullshit on this concept. I’ve probably called bullshit because every single person that has told me this, …
You ever wake up one day and suddenly have a clear answer for a challenge for which there seemed like there was no answer? Well, I had that experience a couple of weeks ago about the interviewing and selection process. You know the challenge – you design the “perfect” system to select only the right candidates for your company. You’re …
I know, I know -It’s about Damn time right! Finally, I have the answer! First let me tell you, this is a hotly debated item around HR circles – where it is next to impossible to get anyone to agree on a formula or process for determining the cost of turnover for an individual within your organization.

Get the right person with the skills in the role, in the shortest possible time, for the least cost. Simple. But it’s not easy. In some cases, in fact, it’s pretty darn hard. Like most processes, if people weren’t involved, it …
FOT Nation: Well, it’s looking like I may not be able to have kids. I’m 39 and without going into a lot of detail, it may not medically be in the cards. Now please know, I’m still fighting the good fight and don’t feel sunk. There is still a lot to be done—so please no pity emails/responses/posts. And please, I …
Steve Boese (HR Technology Blog, HR Happy Hour) and I are rocking the casbah (that’s right, shareef don’t like it..) with Sonar6 at this month’s Fistful of Talent webinar entitled, “PLEASE SHUT UP: The Idiot-Proof Coaching Tool for Managers“. Sonar6 is hosting this shindig, so I’ll link to the registration below and cut and paste the rundown they did. It’s going to be good: “This month …
We almost went a whole week without a basketball post here at FOT. Rest easy, friends, disaster averted. Actually, people smarter than me at FOT have the “HR and Hoops” genre cornered, so this might be my last time on the topic. Today’s story is really more about leverage and betrayal than roundball. Quick background: The University of Missouri men’s basketball …
When it comes to negotiating deals, you’re probably like me—some good wins in your past and maybe a few plays which could have gone better. On the bad deals, was it because you misunderstood your position relative to the other side? That’s where my deals have gone south. Always looking for help, I found a nice piece from FOT alum, …
