My phone rang. Colin was exasperated. “Karin, I thought I NAILED the interview. The owner seemed pleased with all my answers, and I had great stories for all his behavior-based interview questions. But I just got an email from him saying that although I was qualified, he was worried about my passion for training!!! You KNOW how passionate I am about training– it’s my life!

Jerome is desperate. He drags himself to his office job every day, the one he’s had for 4 years now. He clocks in at 9, and starts doing client calls until 12. He then takes a half-hour lunch break, followed by a team meeting, and then more client calls until 5. The same old job, the same routine, and an overwhelming feeling of emptiness deep inside.

Don’t expect bold performance from dis-empowered people. You drain, discourage, and demotivate, if your goal is conformity. An egotistical need for control – in those with positional authority – dis-empowers others.

H ere’s a hard truth we all have to swallow. WE HAVE TOO MANY CONSUMERS. What’s A Consumer? Typically, the term consumer is bandied about in the retail world. A consumer is someone who consumes a product or service. They’re paying, sure. But all they’re doing is consuming. They take the product. Use the product. Return for more.

There are a lot of really cool advantages to being first born. I liked getting to “be responsible” for my younger sister and brother. It likely made me a high achiever. I like that I gained a “gift of gab” by being the only (for a while) child, conversing with my parents before my sister came along. It sure helped prepare for a career as a keynote speaker and trainer.

What’s the difference between an employee that can’t seem to tie their own shoes without asking “mother may I” and one that can perform with a high level of autonomy and accountability? It comes down to three things: 1. The employee must have a high degree of competence and confidence. 2. The employee needs to understand the mission and goals of the organization ( clarity ). 3.

As a strategy consultant, I have had the opportunity to review a lot of strategic plans over the years. It’s been truly amazing to discover just how many major organizations develop strategic plans that contain little more than a whole lot of budget estimates and revenue projections. Those firms practice what I call “ Strategic Planning 1.0 “ Clearly, a new kind of planning approach is required to guide today’s modern organizations through the challenges that exist in the

Back in June 2014, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) discovered that there was a record number of Brits working from home. The figure was huge – 4.2 million – and neatly demonstrated that the traditional office environment was fast becoming a distant memory for many. The rise of the freelancer and increasingly convenient channels by which we all communicate in this digital age have made home workers a common fixture in teams of all sizes.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

Guest post from by JV Venable: Any man or woman you hire will come on board with a measure of uncertainty. They’ll step in wondering just what kind of commitment they can expect from you, and many will wonder if they can measure up to the standards on your team. Commitment is a foundational requirement for loyalty, and loyalty for trust. When you help them come up to speed with the technical standards, and give them a leg up on gaining social acceptance of your team, you’ll build a strong founda

A leader is someone who provides vision and inspires everyone around him or her to focus on the vision and drive toward achieving their goal. When things are not going well, leaders are often the first ones to roll up their sleeves and work alongside their people to make things happen. When confidence is not there, leaders encourage their people to continue their journey that ultimately enables them to achieve things they otherwise could not achieve.

W arcraft is the latest video game to movie adaptation. The basis for the movie? Orcs invade the world of humans and chaos breaks out. Having been a big gamer, I was excited to see the Warcraft movie. This adaptation brought feelings of nostalgia for my video game days. With that, I know there are people who may be confused in seeing Warcraft. This movie is based on the original 1994 Warcraft video game, not the more recent World Of Warcraft MMORPG.
