There are certain jobs I've had that I didn't like. The boss was a nut job, the commute was a killer -- and there was never much laughter. I thought there wasn't much to laugh about because the culture was so screwed up, but I realize after interviewing an expert on laughter in the workplace that I may have been missing the mark. The reason chuckles were few and far between was because of a much deeper issue of trust and relationships.

I hate it when I do great work and it goes unrecognized by everyone except my own family, who I whine to until they say "good job!" (They usually have no idea what they're congratulating me for.) Seriously, who wants to labor in obscurity without a pat on the back, or a bonus or even some pathetic "employee-of-the-last-10 minutes" award? The workplace is a grim place these days, as worker drones labor long hours in their cubicles with the boss stopping by every once in a while to bark a new orde

All this "positive" stuff can start to sound like the manic ramblings of a crazy person.

The theme of this carnival is ‘the talent race’, with a particular focus on Asia, although Abhishek hasn’t had many Asian bloggers contributing - the same problem I had when I hosted the ‘international HR carnival’ last year. It’s strange, particularly given that many of the countries with the highest proportion of bloggers are in Asia.

We tend to think that there is just one best way of doing HR, whereas in fact there is a broad variety of potential approaches open to us. The key point is that people are all different. This being the case, organisations can choose which sort of people they’re going to focus on employing and supporting.

For me, having the ability (insert courage here) to take a stand for what is right represents a big part of leadership freedom.
