How Performance Reviews Brand the Reviewer by Dawn Lennon - Apr, 2011 It's a draw. All the arguments about performance reviews are correct. The process can be fair or unfair, useful or a sham, legitimate or bogus. It all comes down to us-the reviewers. Do you care? For many supervisors, it's about the paper, not the process. We whine about writing comments, deciding on ratings, and holding those dreaded employee review meetings. We forget that performance reviews are about feedbac... |

When Employees Aren't Feelin' It, Try Enchantment, Guy Kawasaki Style by Dawn Lennon - Apr, 2011 Today, Guy Kawasaki's new book, Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions, is released. Guy offered me an advance copy about a month ago with a request to blog about it. I'm so happy I said, "Yes." We really want our jobs to mean something. It's usually the rush more than the money that keeps us showing up every day. When there's nothing to feel no excitement, satisfaction, optimism, or joy we're less ... |

When the Boss Isn't Cutting It, What's Really Wrong? by Dawn Lennon - Apr, 2011 It's no fun falling short. Most bosses know when employees don't like or respect them. They often act like they don't notice or are above caring. Who can blame them for needing a coping mechanism? As employees, we often assume our bosses know better-that they are ineffective on purpose. Everyone weighs in on what they believe the boss's defects are: -Poor commu... |

Workplace Friends and Foes—Your Forever Network by Dawn Lennon - Apr, 2011 Ever been to a high school reunion? Some former classmates look the same. Some you only recognize if they have a name tag. It's not how people look that flips our memory switch. It's their names that get us to remember how each person has been preserved in our minds: -How they treated us (and we them) -How smart and/or accomplished they seemed to be -How they behaved alone, in groups, and with those they dated -If we ... |

An Introvert's Resistance to Networking by Ruth Shapiro - Apr, 2011 An introverted client -- let us call him Frank -- refused to network even though he had just been laid off due to severe cost-cutting in a difficult economy. An Accounting Manager with an insurance company, Frank consulted me for help with his job search, but refused to network. When I asked about his community activities I learned he held an important position as the Treasurer of his church and his beach club. I suggested tha... |

Are You Wasting Your Most Valuable Resource? by Christine Hassler - Apr, 2011 This past weekend I had the pleasure of hearing Brian Tracy, one of the top success and achievementgoals in the world, speak. He said something that hit me like a ton a bricks: the majority of us are only using about 10% of our potential. 10%?!?!? From my point of view that number is WAAAAAY too low. Why are we operating at such a mediocre level? As human beings we have infinite potential; it is our greatest natural reso... |

Are You Worthy? by Christine Hassler - Apr, 2011 I flipped on the television Monday night and caught a bit of Dancing with the Stars (I love seeing the elaborate and beautiful outfits they wear). After a couple dances, they are evaluated by the judges who hold up numbers rating them on a scale of 1 to 10. Those with a high enough score are deemed worthy enough to proceed to the next round as potential winners. And of course we all accept this as a way to be evaluated in a ... |

Is Your Boss Wrong About You? by Debbie Brown - Apr, 2011 Performance reviews are supposed to be an objective evaluation of an employee's performance, based on measurable criteria. But how often does that happen? And how often does a job lend itself to actual objective metrics? Samual Culbert, a professor in the Anderson School of Management at UCLA, is the author of "Get Rid of the Performance Review! How Companies Can Stop Intimidating, Start Managing-and Focus on What Rea... |

Is Your Mind Getting Fat? by Christine Hassler - Apr, 2011 Yesterday as I was packing my lunch in my new Easylunchbox that has built in dividers like a bento box, a metaphor came to mind about portion control (you know how I love metaphors!). If you were attempting to release weight, decreasing your portions of high-calorie food while increasing your consumption of nutritional veggies and fruits would be an effective strategy. Imagine the benefits of applying the same principle of po... |
