For as long as I can remember, since the early days of the Personnel Department in the middle of the last century, people generally undervalued the benefits of their human capital. I have spent the past 20 years partnering with small and mid-sized companies, helping them put the human back into Human Resources, working with them to hire smart, recognize employee potential, and increase their staff retention.
When I work with my clients, I'm not afraid to roll up my sleeves and begin digging into the facts of their business. Sometimes I wear a hard hat...sometimes I wear a suit...but in all cases, I deliver the know-how that will challenge them to take a hard look in the mirror. Through consulting, coaching, and human resources development, I help my clients understand that Human Resources is about more than distributing employee manuals and placing want ads. After all, excellent human capital management can only happen within the context...

“Have you ever been in a workplace environment in which within days you realize you have entered a "hard hat zone" - except nobody warned you! If you have ever spent too long in a workplace environment in the hopeless optimism that things might get better or that you can change it, perhaps it is better to avoid putting yourself into such a situation in the first place. One sure way to beat a stressful environment is to develop a "zero tolerance policy" say "no" firmly.” Says Christina in her recent article, “
How to Avoid a Toxic Workplace: Ten Warning Signs of a Toxic Boss”.
“
You make me want to be a better man.” Spoken by Jack Nicholson in the movie
As Good As It Gets resonates in my mind as I search companies and organizations for people who are as good as it gets at every level, in fact, who are so good at improving their own performance that they end up elevating those around them. It shouldn’t take words like Nicholson’s however,...

Janie, It is very difficult to offer advice without knowing more about your situation. However, you might talk to your human resource rep to see what can be done about the problem. You might also go to your boss’s boss but I would not do this without carefully considering the potential ramifications and getting a second and third opinion from trusted colleagues who know your situation.

A young businessman had just started his own firm. He rented a beautiful office and had it furnished with antiques. Sitting there, he saw a man come into the outer office. Wishing to appear the hot shot, the businessman picked up the phone and started to pretend he had a big deal working.
He threw huge figures around and made giant commitments. Finally he hung up and asked the visitor, "Can I help you?"
The man said, "Yeah, I've come to activate your phone lines."
“It ain’t braggin’ if you can do it.” —Babe Ruth
Spend a few afternoons at a coffee shop or local café and you’ll come out being more informed about your community than you might have ever imagined! For an entire week of (slight) eaves dropping and people watching, I discovered that people who confidently promoted themselves; bragged about their ideas, their businesses, or their organizations were all around me! I was stirred by the amount of business emerging…all...while stopping for a java. Who knew??
