Pat MaBack, It is common for managers in today’s workforce to not say thank you enough.

Long hours. are often more about proving something to ourselves than actually getting stuff done. --Jessica Stillman, Why Working More than 40 Hours a Week is Useless.

'Do we ever notice the people around us as we walk by in our fast-walking-never-enough-hours-in-the-day corporate lives?

A blog post this morning by Walter McKenzie got me thinking about career behavior--more specifically do we approach people with a "what's in it for me?" mentality or do we look beyond transactions? Here's Walter's take on an experience he had recently: In terminal one at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, right across from Chili’s, is a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory shop, where they have a standing offer that you can buy three caramel apples and get a fourth one free.

Americans love a quick fix and I'm one of them. I never go anywhere without Super Glue. Break a nail? I zap it with Super Glue. The wheel falls off my office chair? Super Glue does the trick. But when it comes to fixing your career or finding a new job, the going can be a lot slower. Many people think a career coach will be the Super Glue for them, but it doesn't exactly work that way.

One thing that makes life bearable at work is being able to work with people you really like, people whom you consider friends. Then comes the day when your boss tells you that you’ve been named the manager over the people who have seen you tipsy on strawberry margaritas.

As companies race to discover what generative AI can do, HR must lead conversations about how to balance cutting-edge innovations with integrity, trust, and diversity.
