I recently wrote a post about one aspect of the performance review process that employees like – getting merit increases.

Have you ever asked past employees you’ve managed what they REALLY thought about you back in the day ? I decided to reach out and ask some of my past direct reports what they thought about my management practices.

By Derek Irvine. Recognize This! – New mindsets that emphasize and recognize effectiveness over effort are needed to replace increasing bureaucracy. Organizations are becoming flatter and more flexible, at least according to conventional wisdom.

We get into trouble when conflict is poorly managed and is allowed to affect people personally.
