The pace of technology continues to accelerate each year, and HR professionals can no longer expect to train people once a year (or even once a quarter) to keep up to speed—instead, employees need opportunities to constantly learn and improve their knowledge.

Consider Jack Welch’s famous Stack Ranking policies , which focused on ranking employees and then firing the lowest 10% of performers. Proponents have credited this approach with a 28-fold increase in earnings (and a 5-fold increase in revenue) at GE between 1981 and 2001.

I read a statement recently that I haven’t been able to forget. People without a clear purpose will have to carry an organizer to plan their day. I keep staring at this sentence trying to figure out the intersection of purpose and planning. If I break down the key definitions, purpose means the reason something is done.
