Lists! Lists! Lists! As we close the chapter on 2013, there’s no denying — the “best of” list season is in full swing.
And who can blame blogs for sharing top picks from the past year? After all, lists are incredibly easy to create, and there’s a certain seductive power in a headline that promises to deliver all the goods in just one single round-up post.
But for me, picking “best” blog posts is like picking “best” children — an impossible task. I’ve spent hours helping to envision, edit, implement and promote every one of the 200 posts we produced last year. And to me, each is uniquely relevant and valuable in its own right.
So please consider our showcase of 2013’s most popular content more than a “best of” list. It’s also our way of recognizing ALL of the many “world of work” experts who have contributed to our blog, our weekly radio shows , and our #TChat Twitter chats . For example:
Business leaders like Chris Boyce , CEO, Virgin Pulse; Richie Etwaru , Group VP, Cegedim CRM; Todd Owens , President, TalentWise; Dr. Janice Presser , Founder, The Gabriel Institute, and Jason Averbook , Chief Innovation Officer, Appirio.
World of work observers and educators like Josh Bersin , Angela Maiers , Dr. Marla Gottschalk , and Dr. Nancy Rubin
Best-selling authors like Bob Burg , Stan Phelps , Marcia Conner , Jamie Notter and Ekaterina Walter .
To these contributors, and to the many others who participate in our community of purpose, thank you. We’re all better because you share professional insights that are relevant today, and will clearly stand the test of time. Need convincing? Check out the items below, and let us know what you think…
