The CEO of SHRM is retiring. What’s SHRM? It’s the AARP of HR professionals. They are an association who do commercials on CNN and tell everybody about how great it is to work in HR. And, like the people AARP who want us to believe that being an old lady is empowering, they are lying to us. (Who gets excited about turning 50?

Any time you create a program, it’s necessary to measure the results. Even the incredibly informal “Let’s do it and see what happens.” approach considers evaluation.

Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

The workplace needs continuous feedback more than ever. According to Gallup, only 17 percent of millennials receive meaningful feedback and 19 percent receive feedback on a routine basis. One reason such a small percentage of employees receive feedback is the perception that performance management is a time-consuming process.

You can spend months on analysis. You can create as many scenarios as you can imagine. You can employ all the tools available to mitigate risk. But you will never be able to predict the outcome of trying something new. There are simply too many variables in the equation: competitor moves, economic shifts, regulatory changes and technology disruptions are always in play to confound the outcome of any action you take.

We did it! We lived through that whole extra second in the last minute of 2016, and have begun setting our sights on a successful 2017. (Wait what extra second? Is it the end of days!? Nah.

As a leader, I find it hard to believe that I once bought into the theory that we hire people for what they can contribute to our teams, and then we build their initial development plans around areas of development. Do we really think that we can change them before the year has even passed? The danger lies in thinking that we want to. We all have strengths.
