The 7 C's: How to Find and Hire Great Employees - 6 views

  •  
    Forbes article
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    Wow 7 C's….my article only at 4….this has some great "additional" information.
  •  
    Good article, nice to see the 7 C's and an observation point from a leadership level owning up to be a contributing factor for new employee success rate.
  •  
    There it is again with that compatible non-sense. That is why organizations get jammed up in lawsuits, and lose huge sums of money. Its a whole new generation of employers thinking that they should hire based on "Cultural matches" which are made up in the first place. That is a preference, and it cannot be articulated on the bench in front of a jury of 12. If you can't defend it, then don't make it a core competency or requirement. Make it a subfield, or a preference.

The Critical Task of Succession Planning - Forbes - 2 views

  •  
    Succession planning is perhaps the most important job of corporate boards. Without a strong succession-planning program, companies are not prepared to fill openings created by retirements or unexpected departures, nor are they able to meet demands of the organization.
  •  
    To me the importance of succession and cross-training within departments is very crucial. Yet I think still many times today people view these things as a loss of job security. Many time individuals may feel a false sense of security if they are the only person that knows how to do 'x'.
  •  
    I could not agree more with your comments. I hear it on a daily basis, if I am the only one who knows this information; the organization has to keep me. Much of the fear comes from massive layoffs and reorganization-if they need the knowledge they will need me.

The #1 Reason Leadership Development Fails - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting article... Training focuses on best practices, while development focuses on next practices. Training is often a rote, one directional, one dimensional, one size fits all, authoritarian process that imposes static, outdated information on people. The majority of training takes place within a monologue (lecture/presentation) rather than a dialog

Learn the game - 3 views

  •  
    The use of multiple forms of gaming, can produce excellent talent, and improve worklife.
  •  
    Bob, My organization uses gaming to engage the public to help them understand financial concepts that many find too complex or difficult to understand. We also recently implemented gaming as part of our on-boarding process to educate and engage new employees to learn more about the functions and responsibilities of the organization. The public has embraced the concept of gaming, while its use as an on-boarding tool is receiving mixed reviews. The younger generations loves it, while many of the long-term employees don't see the value and feel it is a waste of people's time and the organization's money. It will be interesting to see if gaming is a fad or not.
