What’s the Trick to Managing Employees? It’s Simple — Just Let Them Manage You
A few years ago, I was working as Editor of a fairly well-known talent management magazine and found myself engaged in one of my frequent discussions with the publisher over something. I don’t remember what the subject was, but at some point I said something that seemed to startle my publisher. His face contorted, turned red, and he barked something at me I had…
What’s Best for Chains: Centralized or Local Hiring? It Depends
There’s a trend in the marketplace these days to go local. Restaurants and grocery stores are touting locally sourced ingredients while Small Business Saturday (tomorrow, Nov. 25) offers a local antidote to the mad Christmas shopping rush at the mall. Even clothing and furniture stores are jumping on the bandwagon by highlighting items manufactured within the region. But should the push to go local…
The Recruiter Name Generator! What’s Your Recruiter Name? @atapglobal
I’ve noticed that certain recruiters have it easier than others. If you have a ‘unique’ name, you know what I’m talking about!

What’s Wrong With Perfectionism?
During a recent coaching call with a corporate executive, I asked about her planning and organizational skills. She responded, “My skills are fine but never quite good enough.” When I asked about her people-development initiatives, she replied, “I can always do better in that area.” Finally, I asked about her communication skills. “That is always an area of opportunity for me to continually improve,”…

What’s In The Top-Side Of Your Recruiting Funnel?
Marketing is changing talent acquisition forever. It wasn’t long ago that most Talent Acquisition leaders had a conceited belief that candidates wanted to come to work for their great organizations. All they had to do was develop and administer a process for those candidates to be processed, and that was great talent acquisition. I could argue there are a ton of organizations being led…

What’s The Biggest Challenge HR Faces In 2016?
Is there just one challenge for HR in 2016? I was asked that in a recent interview, which was really a speaker audition. In my mind, right now, there’s a disconnect. It seems like our profession is all over the place. And no one is really reining it into a holistic focus. I spoke to the HR Pros attending the Advanced Employment Issues Symposium in…
