Leading volunteers is not always an easy job. Unlike employees, they are hard to fire and they may or may not be motivated enough to give their best efforts. But sometimes the magic happens, and you get the best people with the best skills supporting you in a volunteer capacity. That’s what happened last week, and I want to share some of the lessons for the rest of you.

2015 marked the first year where the Affordable Care Act was arguably set into clear motion, as new policies and mandates from employer to employee and covering others were just getting acclimated to new procedures. This was all in the midst of working with health insurance providers along with claiming coverage on 2015 tax returns. The margin of error was inevitable, but going forward, penalties can and will stack up.

A few years ago, I wrote about a woman at my gym who was working out in pantyhose. What kind of workout gear is that? You have to be entangled in a weird web of shame to put yourself through that nonsense. Lots of people gave me feedback and said, hey, it’s none of your business what that lady wears to work out. Maybe just focus on your s**t, which is equally as web-like and shameful.

I’m the queen of helping vendors put on better conferences, but nobody asks me to touch the obligatory CHRO panel. That’s too bad. A CHRO panel looks the same at nearly every event. The interviewer always asks Chief HR Officers about policy and culture with an eye towards a “holistic bigger picture” that is never fully described nor understood by the audience.

Enough is enough. You are embarrassing yourself and your organization.

It’s the first day for your new hire. You’re thrilled to finally have someone to share the seemingly endless list of responsibilities around the office and bring new ideas to the table. But their first days are probably filled with nervous jitters, tons of handshakes and of course miles of somewhat forced smiles. No one likes being the new kid on the block.

With all the talk about employee engagement – why aren’t we doing a better job with engaging employees?

As Stephen Curry will readily tell you, his greatness is nothing without the help of teammates like Draymond Green and Andre Iguadola. As employers, we should seek to foster a similar respect for teamwork using a set of “essential virtues.” . The Golden State Warriors are hurtling toward another potential finals berth not merely because Curry can shoot the basketball like no one else.

A reader writes: I have recently graduated from college. I currently have no job prospects, but I am applying to jobs on a daily basis. I feel that if I can write a really good cover letter it will give me that extra boost, as I did not work very much during college due to having scholarships. I have been trying to spin my college years as actually working a full-time job in my cover letter.

While on my way to a conference last weekend, I began reading 52 Cups of Coffee. The book begins with this quote: “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” – Charlie “Tremendous” Jones. It blew my mind a bit. Simple idea. Makes perfect sense when you take the time to think about it, but I suppose we rarely do.

Every company everywhere should have a plan to combat workplace violence and properly respond to violent incidents. California has stepped to the plate and become the first state to mandate workplace violence prevention requirements for employees and employers. Even if you are in a different state or country, these workplace violence requirements are applicable to almost every employer anywhere.

A few years ago, I attended a “coffee morning with the principal” at my daughter’s school. During the discussion, homework came up. The principal flat-out admitted that all the research showed that homework in the lower grades was worthless for the student, but that they assigned it because the parents wanted it. As soon as she said that, three women asked if the amount of homework could be increased.

I’m proud of myself for approaching the negotiations with confidence and a real plan, but I feel somewhat uneasy about some of the conversations I had with HR, and I wonder if I was clumsy in my negotiations.

If you aren’t familiar with DisruptHR, it is a Ted-esque style event with speakers in the HR/Recruiting world speaking for five minutes with 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds.

Some of the ways you can harm your career and your professional reputation are obvious ones – rack up a string of firings, tell off your boss, or take a daily afternoon nap when you’re supposed to be working.

At U.S. News & World Report today, I talk about five moves that people often don’t realize will hold them back until it’s too late and the damage has been done.

I was born and raised in Oklahoma, and although I moved away a long time ago, I still have a bit of that Okie twang. The accent becomes stronger if I'm talking to a native Southerner. I become even more "Southern" when I get upset or excited. I start using phrases like "I'm fixin' to." or "ya'll." Early in my career, I landed a big job in Washington, D.C.
