Thankful

To all we have to be thankful for.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Uncertainty and change are life's constants.  And when you think about it, that's the fun part.

#EmployeeEngagement

A Gallup study found that at least 70% of the variance in employee engagement scores is driven by who the boss is.  This is disconcerting because the same research found that about 70% of people in management roles are not well equipped for their job.  This state of affairs is hurting not just employee engagement and quality of life, but also corporate performance.

Interviewing Method

Effective interviewing is not about "getting to know" the candidate; it's about leveraging techniques similar to investigative journalism.  In each interview, the goal is to uncover specific experiences and behaviors that match the mission and priorities of the organization.

Take Action

You can't wait for someone to tell you it's okay to try.  It's up to you to take the first step.  Nobody can stop you unless you are willing to let them stop you.  Sometimes you have to take a chance.
