Red Adair, the renowned oil fighter who rose to prominence in the ‘50s and ‘60s once stated, “If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." Although this quote comes from a time and profession far removed from those in which we operate today, the message may hold more truth now than ever before.

Want to be a true HR leader within your business? Learn to influence others. When you think about it, there are few decisions that HR makes with ultimate authority. A significant portion of what we accomplish comes through the influence, coaching, and guidance of our peers, executives, and staff. I’d even go so far as saying that the majority of what we are proud of as HR leaders comes from what we accomplish without making the final decision ourselves.

When my kids were babies, it was fascinating to watch them learn to walk. One of my kids was determined from a very early age—far before it was physically feasible—to stand upright in what my husband and I can only assume was an attempt to begin to walk. We have pictures of our seven-month old child doing a downward dog-type yoga pose, with baby hands and feet planted on the floor, and a teeny, diaper-clad baby butt jutting towards the sky.

American culture idealizes extroverts, from students in the classroom to employees in the corporate world. Even so, introverts should not be overlooked or undervalued.

For me doing practically anything an Olympic athlete does is impossible. For me, building the financial models that power big companies is impossible. For me, playing in the NFL is impossible. (Don’t believe me, download a few photos ). It’s true that I don’t know how to do any of these things, but it’s not just a knowledge shortage I have. It’s more than that—I simply don’t have the natural gifts that would make these things possible, even if I worked my tail off for a decade or more.

“I trust my gut.” Every time I hear an HR professional or Leader speak those four words, I get a sinking feeling in my own gut. Hiring is just too important to be left to something as vague and subjective as a “gut feeling.” There are amazing tools out there to radically up the odds of a successful hire. “Gut check alone” typically isn’t one of them.

After trade shows are over—as your nagging backache continues to fade, and your feet start to feel normal again—what do you do?

But what else? Even if you’ve used all your budget on trade shows, there are still two powerful ways you can leverage your exhibiting investment.

Do you get a lack of respect at work? Do you feel like you're being passed over for promotions or opportunities that should have been yours? If so, it could be because you're "telling" others to ignore you. You're "telling" others that you lack confidence to tackle the big jobs. "Not so!" you may cry. You may not be saying it with your words, but you may be telling others loud and clear with your body language that you're not strong enough to cope with a challenge.

Lots and lots of folks like to push 'culture' as the primary driver of organizational success. I have written and presented pretty extensively on why I think that's wrong. Check any of my 'Rock-Paper-Scissors ' posts in case you are interested. One of the many reasons I get a little skeptical about this 'cult of culture' is that by its very nature culture is hard to define, to measure, and hard to draw any kind of a direct (or even a dotted) line from culture to actual results.

According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), it typically costs $4,425 to hire a new employee — not to mention the 36 days the average team spends trying to fill a position. Yet nearly 1 in 5 employees (16%) of employees quit in their first week — and 17% leave after the first month.
