Here's my gift to you today: I'm not going to blog about Charlie Sheen. I'm not going to give you advice about how you shouldn't follow Sheen's career strategy. Honestly, if you're dim enough to even think about listening to Charlie Sheen, you need a heck of a lot more advice than I can ever give you. And some really good meds.

Are you changed by work? Working on work as work works on you. I had a two-cent epiphany today. I think we are fully engaged in work when work changes us in a more constructive, richer, or complete way. Have you ever been working on something and then you realize it has been working on you? You realize you have been changed by your work perhaps without any intention for that to happen on your part.

Dear Evil HR Lady, Now that employers aren’t reading resumes - instead just putting them through scanners to find keyword matches - do they still read cover letters? I’ve got no problem crafting specific cover letters for the various jobs I’m applying to. That said, my job search is time-consuming enough without spending time and energy on a cover letter no one is going to read.

Before you decide to jump ship and launch your own enterprise, read this column I did for Gannett/USA Today: Mark Zuckerberg may be the highly successful entrepreneur who created Facebook , but Carol Roth sighs when she hears his name.

'I’ve ( nearly ) completely missed out on posting on Dan Pink’s book, Drive , previously somehow. I don’t know how that happened – it’s certainly something I talk about a lot. I accept most of Paul Herbert’s case (which I still think are the best constructed arguments) against Pink’s thinking. But I also still think it’s the nearest thing like a hand grenade lobbed into the middle of the HR community that there’s been.

You would think that with unemployment being so high that hiring would be super easy. After all, you simply tell your employees that you’re hiring and post the job on your company’s websites. Within minutes LinkedIn is buzzing with all that networking and your company’s servers are being overwhelmed with hundreds of applicants. So, Why is the Hiring Process So Slow?

The true test of a leader is when things don’t go as planned. Worst yet, when things fail. In an organizational context, I have seen so many leaders who drive the project/initiative right from the beginning – yet when the project fails, they blame others. The blame senior management, the organization culture, their own team members and sometimes even the customers.

Dear Evil HR Lady, There are two of us in equal positions at my office. The excuse our Manager used for not promoting either of us was that there could only be one promotion and therefore it would not be forthcoming this year because if one was promoted the other would make too much fuss.

We live in times where more and more work is executed by teams that are geographically distributed. Leading a virtual team, fostering collaboration and binding them to common set of objectives is one of the key challenges for business leaders. In most of the troubled projects I have seen, the real challenges were not technical/engineering ones but communication/collaboration ones.

96% of benefits leaders agree: detecting cancer early is the best way to get ahead of rising costs and improve employee health outcomes. So why is it that 82% of employers currently spend significantly more on post-diagnosis care and disease management rather than upstream care?

'Part of the human condition is to screw up from time to time, and sometimes to screw up rather badly. In the fourteenth century there was a young man who earned his living as a scribe at the monastery. He worked in the writing room called the Scriptorium. His job was to copy the Bible for the Monks. One day he was working on the third chapter of Luke, the long genealogy which traces Jesus back through the generations all the way to Adam.

To an extent yes, but 1.feedback also needs to be shared back with the people providing it, and 2. the focus needs to be the social unit, rather than the individual, ie it needs to be an entire team or community providing and sharing feedback on each other. 2.
