The Anti-Speaking Demon

Mar 11, 2010 10:00am

A few weeks ago I took on the anti-writing demon and by no means do I have this one under control but I have been making progress. My red Moleskine journal is with me where ever I go so I can jot down and idea when it comes to me. Now,...

Ready to React? Hit Pause.

Mar 9, 2010 4:00am

I miss the energy and pace of Olympic short track. Skaters at the line, primed to go, skate tips in the ice, bodies into position, leaning into the start, the gun is about to fire and then . . . false start. A false start affects everyone as all of the skaters are sent back to the starting...

Social Media Tools Are Not The Boss Of Me

Mar 4, 2010 4:00am

..... anymore. A few weeks ago I embarked on a social media nip and tuck to frame up my social media efforts. My goals are to deepen and strengthen my connections, collaborate on a professional project and write beyond the blog A work in progress, I am reevaluating how I am using the tools and checking...

On Defense and Diamonds

Mar 2, 2010 4:00am

Defense! Defense! is great for a sports team, but can be bad for an organization. Organizations are a sum of many parts and to ensure organizational success, it is imperative that everything, and everyone, functions at their best. When you are going for the gold, defensive employees are bad news. On Defensiveness Defensive employees can...

A Little Labor Relations Rant

Feb 23, 2010 4:00am

You are preaching to the choir when you say labor relations is tough. In all things labor, I've had it relatively easy in my career. Even so, there have been hurtful moments, tears, second guesses, the horrible sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach when I realized I missed a detail, misinterpreted a sign, over (or under) estimated a gesture or simply...

Feedback Results: Is this your first time here or are you a regular reader?

Feb 20, 2010 9:16am

I asked this question in my trial run of a feedback widget in my sidebar. Guess what? I received 21 responses to the question. Because that's more than the number of comments I've received on any given blog post or combination of posts, I'm a bit psyched! Welcome first time readers, much appreciation to regular readers,...

Eliminating the Static in Performance Management

Feb 18, 2010 5:00am

"Breaker 1-9, breaker 1-9, do you hear me?" "Breaker 1-9, you are breaking up." And so it goes with performance management. Supervisors are responsible for performance management. The best supervisors address performance willingly, especially when that performance is poor. "Effectively dealing with poor performers is more than a willingness to fire an employee, it’s recognizing...

Always willing to lend a hand, answer a question or come back with THE BEST one-liners, Mike, is wonderful. From #hokeyspitballs to #goodgravy, Mike makes me smile with every tweet. I...

An Incentive Fairy Tale (sort of)

Feb 16, 2010 4:00am

Incentives can be like sunshine on a cloudy day, or they can bring in the rain. No denying incentives, when used properly, can prompt desired behaviors - or is it to impact outcomes? What was it again?? Incentives change behaviors - not outcomes. I know that now because I read Incentive Intelligence and...

Checking Out a Widget

Feb 13, 2010 6:00am

I spoke to the folks over at Rypple and I am going to give their feedback widget a try here on the blog. If I find it is useful in gaining feedback from you, my readers, it could be a new tool for the social media tool box. If not, well, it won't. I added the widget...

My Social Media Nip and Tuck

Feb 11, 2010 7:00am

When I talk to people who are not active with social media, about social media, and we get past the lack of time issues, the first question I am asked is, "what should I use?" I say that I blog and use Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. When asked if they work for me, I answered, "yes." Then I...

The Anti-Writing Demon

Feb 9, 2010 4:00am

Two things I've got on my mind lately are writing and credibility. I took up leadership credibility earlier last week so today I'll toss out some thoughts on writing. I just started reading Thinking Write by Kelly L. Stone. Besides thinking the title of her book would have been an awesome name for a blog if I only would...
