..."Manage your own behavior first. Many managers try to control others’ behavior by being coercive, manipulative or demanding. Control your impulses, take responsibility for your actions, and be adaptable. If you aren’t a responsible leader, don’t expect employees to shoulder the responsibility for making your business a success."

"5 Myths Of Human Capital Management. HR is one of those fields where numerous myths endure."
Good article on the Forbes website about "myths" of hiring and managing employees. Does your organization fall victim to these "myths". Do you have your own set of tribal "myths" and "activities" that have built up over the years - but you know are counter-productive?
How do you break these "myths?" Are they reinforced through human resources or hiring managers? Do you need more training in effective human capital management OR do you need to replace some of the people in charge of it?

If you want to be a CEO, it's time to make sure your resume includes this phrase: "extensive downsizing experience." Ford Motor Co. yesterday named Mark Fields its new chief operating officer.
What a depressing perspective on the role of being a CEO. Of course, downsizing might the part of any CEO role when restructuring or bad times hit. However, you would think someone at the pinnacle of corporate leadership would have a more positive perspective on leading, engaging employees, or providing value to customers?
What do you think? Was the comment on the mark or way off base?

Bullying is in the eye of the beholder, at least for the time being, in this country. There is no national definition of bullying or non-sexual harassment behaviour in law at present.
Where does the gap occur between what a manager considers performance management and constructive feedback and the employee considers bullying?
Do you teach your managers the difference betweent he two. Just because they carry the title of "manager" doesn't correlate with their ability to conduct effective performance management.

Losing $400,000 a Month! The result of this one man’s mismanagement was staggering: The facility began to decline and after 3 months it was in the red to the tune of $400,000.
I've found that most small businesses and entrepreneurial companies invest very little resources in management and leadership training. Not only do top performers demand a large amount of training and development, study after study has shown that investing in training yields returns far greater than the initial training investment.
What percentage of your sales do you invest in training and development?

Most of us have worked for leaders that are for all intents and purposes were not very good. I have worked with and for both great leaders and those not very good leaders. To be honest, I actually learned a lot in my early days of leadership from some really bad leaders. Not only were they bad leaders, they were oblivious to the negative affects of their poor leadership. There are many signs that a leader is not a good leader and below are 12 Obvious Signs. The reason I attribute these signs to not being a ”Good Leader” instead of “Great Leader,” is due to the fact that a leader usually goes through the progression of being a “Good Leader” before they can become a “Great Leader.”

Let's cut to the chase: If the only feedback your employees get from you is in the form of a 6- or 12-month performance review, it’s time to change your approach to feedback.

Great advice on transitioning into the role of CEO.
I liked this list of bullet points Marv Howard laid out in his post on the Vistage Baltimore site about stepping into the role of CEO. In our executive search practice and hiring consulting we've seen many CEOs and senior executives fail in their first 6-12 months for the issues Marv described in this article.
A good checklist if you're stepping into the role of CEO or your still on your honeymoon with a new company.

For the past 20 years, I’ve taught aspiring young business leaders at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business. These ambitious future leaders – drawn from every race, religion, ethnicity and nationality -- spend two years in Palo Alto...
Here's my question about this "people" philosophy? Why do so many executives and CEOs give "lip service to the idea of "people are our greatest asset?" when the reality is that in most companies people are treated as expendable things.
Very few companies invest heavily in the acquisition and retention of top talent at all levels in the organization. Few managers are excited about the idea of interviewing and adding to their teams. There is very little training done to teach managers and executives how to hire and retain great employees.
Finally, very few bonus plans include specific elements for the ability to recruit and hire great performers. If people are not measured and rewarded, and there is no consequences for doing it poorly - why should managers and executives care about hiring and retention?

As you think about your goals, write them down. It may seem unnecessary, but it is a key element in acheiving goals. You may keep your written list of goals private, because they are designed to make you, as an individual, happy and successful. However, from a team perspective it may be important to share some of the goals to clearly give your team a vision.

After years of "HR enlightenment" around performance reviews and performance management, WHY is it still so bad in most companies?
I'll contend that one of the most important elements of boss-subordinate relationships is feedback - and most companies are guilty of doing (or not doing) a terrible job of continuous training and coaching for those in management roles.
The only way this is going to get better, and you'll stop losing your best talent, is to start investing in teaching managers how to coach, give feedback, and develop diverse groups of people into high performing teams.
Just because you wear a manager hat doesn't mean your good at it!
What I can't fathom is why companies tolerate average, mediocre, poorly-trained, contradictory, dysfunctional, mean-spirited, and abusive managers. Sounds like I'm preparing a Dilbert comic strip.
