Lead With Love And You’ll Love The Results

Valentine’s Day is in less than a month. I know, right? But love is already in the air. The problem is: it’s *still* not in the air, or culture, or anywhere else at too many companies. That’s really too bad, and it’s also very shortsighted. Because leading with love is a winning leadership and employee engagement strategy on many levels. Employer & Employee Rapport Is Like Marriage (Or Dating For The Faint Of Heart) The employer/employee relationship is, in many ways, similar to dating or marriage. It started with courtship (the hiring process), moves through engagement (building deepening bonds and commitment), and if successful, ends

Find Your True Self And Run With It

“This above all: to thine own self be true.” – Shakespeare How long does it take to tell a “brand” apart from an authentic person? From the first word out of his or her mouth, right? “Brands” tend to be a little too perfect — packaged, programmed, plastic. They push what they think we want to buy, not their real selves. It’s like the difference between processed food and the fresh, “real” food you can get at farmers markets. I want authenticity when I hire, and even when I’m not. Catching my drift? I do not want some amalgam of what

Best Behavior, Best Practices: The Etiquette Of Successful Onboarding

Let’s talk about the etiquette of onboarding new hires. Newfangled definition of bringing a new employee into your business, meet old-fashioned principle of good behavior in social situations. The process of bringing a new employee up to speed so they feel welcomed and become productive fast — without neglecting to complete all the necessary organizational paperwork and tasks — is certainly not a newfangled concept. It remains critical to most businesses. A new study in Bersin by Deloitte confirms it: 79 percent of the business leaders polled consider successful onboarding a top priority.

Optimize The Onboarding Process With HR Technology

Trending perceptions of how tech will impact HR have a spooky and a bountiful side, a bit like fall’s two major holidays (Halloween and Thanksgiving.) On the spooky side is what I call the Body Snatcher Fear, that HR tech is poised to replace humans completely, turning people management into a faceless enterprise. Then there’s the bounty side: the Cornucopia Fallacy, that HR tech is an infinite cornucopia of ready-made solutions already laid out on the table, just waiting for us to come and eat; buy the latest HR software management system and just let it run, for instance. I’ve talked about
