Social Recognition: Are you really social in your social media? Anemic connections. I am finding more and more people in social media are broadcasting updates but connecting very little. You do not really connect with someone when you &# like&# or “+1″ them or list them in a weak weekly Twitter “#FF&# -Follow Friday. Geometric yet automated growth.

Last week we looked at t he cycle of Act-->Reflect and I talked about how people can get so caught up in the Act phase that they never leave time for reflection. I suggested that we needed to insert strategic reflection into the process so that our cycle of activities could create more intentional action. . But for many people caught in a career quandry, the issue is not too much action, but too much reflection.

Here's your question for the day. Do you see your ongoing professional development as a "cost of doing business" or as an "investment in your future"? If it's a cost, then it can be cut when times get lean. Other activities will take precedence because on some level you've decided they add greater value to your life and to your growth. . If your professional development is an investment, though, you will continue to add to this "bank" on a regular basis.

I'm a baby boomer, and was raised by a mother who suffered a lot during the Great Depression. For that reason, I think I became aware at an early age of the importance of saving money. Of never taking a job or security for granted. That's why I so appreciate being able to earn a living wage when times are so difficult for thousands of people. I think if I couldn't work, and earn a paycheck, I'd go a little nutso.

I am halfway through a book recommended to me by Catherine Lombardozzi called Working Identity: Unconventional Strategies for Reinventing Your Career, by Herminia Ibarra and it is really helping me recognize the role that experimentation and action plays in exploring new career roles and identities. It is also reminding me of how messy the process can be. .

But one event I am already looking forward to in the New Year is the HR Director’s Business Summit in Birmingham.

Want to make a job go away? Then make it so complicated and regulated that no one can afford to hire someone to do that job and just like magic, that job will go away. The California Legislature is poised to pass a law giving all sorts of new rights to domestic workers. Guaranteed breaks, detailed pay stubs, workers comp. All of it sounds great, until you get to the part where it is utterly ridiculous and results in either the jobs going away entirely or going completely underground.

Even when I left Corporate America, I didn’t leave. For at least a few years I think I was still caught in the corporate culture trance as I contracted in semi-permanent positions. It was lucrative and fun, but I didn’t really experience the freedom of the outside until later. Freedom can be scary, but to me, now, it’s not nearly as scary as the idea of going back.

'You have to wonder how managers who believe they can operate in a vacuum and treat their employees like second class citizens survive as long as they do in most organizations. Unfortunately there are a lot of managers who fit this description at least to some degree. Employees who have a solid working relationship with their managers are usually much more engaged, have higher levels of overall job and cultural satisfaction, and meet or exceed goals consistently.

'The way feedback is handled is vital to the way the messages are received by employees. It never ceases to amaze just how careless some managers can be in how they provide verbal and written feedback. During feedback about performance, employees have a heightened sense of sensitivity about what they are being told and with the normal "noise" that occurs in interpersonal communication, the stage is set for misunderstanding and hard feelings to develop.
