A good friend and colleague just got back from a VERY frustrating meeting. It wasn’t the subject matter that frustrated her. Rather it was the behavior of the attendees and the person who called the meeting that made her crazy. Here’s why: People in the meeting were constantly looking at their blackberries — rather than …
I’ve been doing some research for a panel I’m moderating in a few weeks at an IT gathering. The subject is — you guessed it — the talent shortage. Some of the IT statistics I’ve found are a bit scary (if you’re an IT manager) and could be considered encouraging if you’re looking for IT …
Not much controversy on this week’s Celebrity Apprentice, but I believe there are some lessons to be learned. Omarosa and Piers need to get over it! You could argue that Omarosa has been a bit too personal (and family) with her vitriol for Piers, but his integrity hasn’t been particularly squeaky-clean throughout the challenges. Not …
I have to admit that when I was writing yesterday’s post, I didn’t know enough text message jargon to give examples.

In another helpful DiversityInc.com piece, email is the subject. I love the title: R Yr Biznes E-mails Hrting Yr Career?

But let’s add two more: …

Called Practical Values: Works Well With Others, the article taught me a lot about telecommuting. It also got me thinking whether or not I would do well doing all my work from home. When one telecommutes, boundaries …
Is that good news? Or bad news? I just read an interesting Quick Take on Workforce.com about boredom at work. It doesn’t surprise me to read that boredom due to poor job design or a poor job-to-employee match can have more serious consequences than burnout. Here’s how I feel about busy vs. boredom: We’ve all …
Okay. I couldn’t resist. I had to do another Celebrity Apprentice. There is so much to say (so little time). And I’m not naive — it’s all about TV ratings. But… Who is right? Who is wrong? Who is unprofessional? And who is downright hateful? Should victory be sacrificed because of lack of teamwork? …
