Ever come across an article or blog post somewhere that you just have to drop everything for? That’s how it was when I came across an article from Gallup titled 8 Behaviors of the World’s Best Managers. One good thing about Gallup: It’s a rare oasis of balanced (aka, non-political) news and analysis in a Mojave desert-sized wilderness of agenda-driven …
Growing tomatoes is a humbling experience. It takes patience and care. You will put forth a lot of effort to grow your own tomatoes and save $3.89 but if you look deep into what you are doing, there are lessons to be learned, even with recruiting. Like robots in recruiting, I can outsource the work with automatic bubbler sprinkling systems …

There are a few important lessons to be learned. Most importantly the world moves on, even in the face of a pandemic. For HR and Talent folks, the main lesson …
COVID has turned us into working headcases. Mental health awareness has been a trending workplace topic for several years. Still, now that many of our lives have taken a dramatic change, literally overnight, the Covid19 pandemic has cranked this focal point up to 11. As a long time therapy patient (you mean, you’re not???), and workplace leader who advocates greatly …
Tough times for most recruiters. If you’re lucky, you work for an organization that makes toilet paper, or anything sold at a grocery store, Sam’s Club, or Costco.
