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.

TOOL Five Keys to Successful Succession Planning - 6 views

  •  
    I like number 3 the best....it takes more than just the HR department to develop a successful succession plan.
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    I agree. Number 3 is the one to me that tells me how good of job an organization is doing at keeping employees happy, motivated, and loving the work culture. When employees don't care about their job they don't go the extra mile and don't take pride in the work they do.
  •  
    All 5 are important but number 2 stands out to me because often some of the best talent is not recognized but leaders.
  •  
    I think 3 and 5 go hand-in-hand. Good basic information.

Leadership: Current Theories, Research, and Future Directions - Annual Review of Psycho... - 1 views

  •  
    As I read this I was drawn to section on cognitive constructs. I found it very interesting and the openness of which the author references the need for future research makes me wonder if we are getting closer to understanding the cognitive sciences or just beginning to grasp how big this issue could be.

Best Practices for Managing Global Executive Coaching Supplier Relationships | Korn Fer... - 0 views

  •  
    Companies are seeing the value of coaching and developing their CEOs. It is interesting to me that for as long as can be remembered, the Military continually develops its Generals. Its great to see that the civilian sector is looking to do the same.

Leadership Lessons From Walt Disney: Perfecting the Customer Experience | Talking Point... - 1 views

  •  
    To summarize Walt's leadership lesson: In order to "know what the people want," get out there, be willing to listen, and then institutionalize learning and continuous improvement on behalf of your customers.
  •  
    I love this - but I worry customer service is losing it's appeal. Now a days many large companies feel if they have a strong product customer service is less than important. I immediately think about Walmart. I rarely have a good customer service experience at Walmart - but that has not stopped me from buying products there....
  •  
    I agree on the customer service part...I also feel a lot of companies are moving towards "self service" which brings back to less customer service.

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.
  •  
    My company outsourced to well being company to help employees become more engaged in lifestyle choices. Never dawned on me that the challenges or gamification was being done. I'll be forwarding this article on to others outside our group, very interesting read and informative.

The 2 Main Problems with Your Employee Referral Program | Meritage Talent Solutions - 3 views

  •  
    Most companies of any size have an employee referral program. Best in class programs provide 40% or more of their new hires through employee referrals. Many studies show that employee referral hire...
  •  
    Kathy, This was a really good article, gave me new perspective on employee referrals. I periodically monitor the job board here at my company for myself and a few of my business contacts outside of the company. I need to suggest to my contacts that we become more aware of all our skill sets to help ensure a better fit when looking for employment.

9 Sensational Traits of Highly Promotable Employees | Inc.com - 2 views

    Week 2 related
  •  
    Good article to remind one what to look for in employees and self. One of the aspects of the behavioral interview for leadership in my organization focuses on servant leadership questions. It is hard to leaders others when "what's in it for me" is the primary focus.
  •  
    Hi Jen, I love this article! Though it's the hard truth that many times we see people promoted over us that do not display this characteristics. However, when I think about the best leaders or the people I would pick to work with in a team, they definitely display these characteristics.

Onboarding New Employees - 2 views

  •  
    On the SHRM website they have great information for all sorts of HR topics. Click on the "download your free report" as this is a great tool for onboarding. They discuss the Four C's (Compliance, Clarification, Culture, Connection).

    You beat me to it, this is my go to website to see if any new regs, or pubs come out! Trends are a big one which seem to be what drives organizational change. The problem with trends is they fizzle out quickly. I mean come on seriously? New Coke? Come on!!!
  •  
    I saw this website when I was looking at articles but didn't know if it was a good one or not. Sounds as if you both use it so will have to keep that as a good source.
  •  
    The SHRM website is a great website to visit on a lot of HR related topics. I would recommend it as a useful website.
  •  
    Looks like we all like this website. Solid practical advice given in the article.
