Yesterday I should have knocked out a few hours of work and put the finishing touches on my 2017 strategic plan, but instead I woke up at 8:30, finished Anna Kendrick’s memoir with a cup of coffee, then fell back asleep to the melodious voices of Property Brothers on my television. I didn’t brush my teeth until somewhere around 11:30. …
No one at that dinner had been sleeping properly for weeks, and it wasn’t just the impossible heat of an impossibly long Auckland summer. My phone was ringing on the table, face down, slowly vibrating its way towards my lap. As it breached the edge the lit screen suddenly caught my eye in the darkness of the bistro, broke through …
HR technologists have recently jumped on the bandwagon of good design, which is awesome. It’s about time. What is good design? Dieter Rams offered ten principles for good design, and it applies to almost everything in life. Simply speaking, good design is something that works, is useful, and makes your experience as effortless as possible. If you are physically impaired, …
Work in big corporations long enough and you start to recognize the caste system inherent in the professional community. R&D is indispensable, Manufacturing has to actually make the ideas come to life, and then somebody has to sell it, so Sales becomes critical as well. The “big 3” pillars in a company—discover it, make it, sell it. That leaves a lot of the “rest of …
With the proliferation over the last 15 years or so of TV networks followed more recently by satellite radio channels and online streaming services for both video and audio content (like Hulu or Spotify), there has been a commensurate increase in the amount and availability of advertisements. After all, just about all forms of “free” content we consume are ad-supported. With …
I spent a few days this past week at the HR Tech Conference 2015. Friend of FOT, Steve Boese, is the Chairman of the HR Tech Conference, and he put on a great show—it just seems to get better every single year. The expo hall is insane. The sessions are strong. The first ever HR Tech Hackathon was incredible and …
Kris Dunn and Tim Sackett are hitting the road this month, and they’re coming to a town near you (email subscribers click through for video – recorded in a Camry in Grand Rapids, MI last week)! (Well, if you’re in Vegas or the immediate surrounding area on October 18th – 21st, specifically. Small window, we know.) Seriously, though, if you’re …
I’m a product of the 70s. I had bell bottoms, platform sandals and wore my hair in braids. I also had a mood ring that was a piece of crap. It was always black or dark blue. I suppose it could have meant I was perpetually intense or lovestruck, but let’s go with crap for the sake of my parents. …
Fun fact: I own the trademark on the “slogan” (their term) candidate experience in the United States. I’m pretty sure that it’s unenforceable, but I’ve got the paperwork to prove that I at least paid the filing fee and was issued an e-mail confirming my registration was a success. Why did I pay $159 for the rights to intellectual property …
My HR and leader-friends, I am going to make a bold statement. I think technology scares the hell out of us. That fear is spooking us into lethargic, gooey submission.
