Michael L. Gooch, SPHR Conflict At Work

“Speak your mind but ride a fast horse.” Cowboy Wisdom Forty years ago, a neighbor’s bull was getting on my ranch. While visiting, he (the bull – not the neighbor) sowed his wild oats. I am sure he was having a great time, but we were raising only registered stock so it was a major problem. Of course, the neighbor claimed that the fence belonged to us, and it was our problem. So we held a meeting (sitting on a tailgate) to decide the matter for the last time. We came away with an agreement that… Continue

Michael L. Gooch, SPHR Absenteeism

Why do we have an absentee problem? When I was a young man, it was unheard of for someone not to show up for work. There were fences to mend, cow to be milked, chickens to be watered and fed. If someone missed his assignment, it was because he was dead or dying! I’ve seen my father, who would sometimes “get down in his back,” work all day and most of the night and then limp out at midnight in a snowstorm to pull a calf (assisting with a difficult birth). What happened to the work ethic? The furt… Continue

PK(Pradeep maheshwari) Hidden Messages

.Have you ever experienced the situation when you wrote something and the other party misunderstood it or interpreted it differently, sometimes to the extent of even getting hurt or/and insulted. This is what comes when we are too sensitively inclined and read overmuch between the lines for Hidden Messages. “HIDDEN MESSAGES”? What in the name of heaven for? But this is also a pointer to how we complicate our lives by assigning meanings to things by letting our imaginations roam and fly of the h… Continue

PK(Pradeep maheshwari) Letting go and letting live

Let go and let live This subject keeps popping up every now and then. How parents maintain control and run & ruin the lives of their children till “Death doth them part” is a perennial source of many miseries. You won’t need a magnifying lens or lantern to find people who practice strict hold on the psyche on their children and for that matter anywhere they can at home or work. I see this attitude so fairly common that I decided to put down some of the conversations I have had for all to no… Continue

Tushar Walwadikar The Satans and The Gods of Talent - Part I

Talent in an organisation is susceptible to inconsiderate handling. An ill-managed talent will always contribute to the regretted attrition levels of the organisation. The widely used saying ‘Employees quit bosses, not organisations!’ drives home this point all too clearly. Talent in any organisation is the ability of its workforce to exceed expectations and deliver value consistently. In an era when technology, strategy or quality benchmarks can be emulated, it is the talent that provides the… Continue

Rajib Kumar Commissioned Acquisition

The Election Commission validates that acquisition for acquisition ain’t a bad thing…and how A couple of days ago I got a shock of my life when I visited one of the campuses I am associated with. A huge caravan of matadors, trucks and buses were waiting there to greet yours truly. For once, I thought my job at this institute was at stake: the promoters have perhaps logged onto the transport business to beat the recession mode I thought. My trance was broken in a moment as I soo… Continue

Rajib Kumar Engaging the new generation employee

Engaging the new generation has been one of the more if not most challenging areas in modern organizations for people managers. How do you communicate with a 23 year old who has every part of his body wired (and therefore rendered himself incommunicable)? He may be into his own brand of “multitasking” ---how chatting on Facebook/Orkut with his latest sensation: a Midwestern country girl now based in DC and catching up with his mom over his newly acquired mobile set; now adding final touches to… Continue

Rajib Kumar To Appraise Or Not To Appraise

Exploring the sensitive gamut of faculty evaluation by students The other day there was a brawl at the quarterly faculty meeting of a leading management institute on the sensitive issue of introduction of faculty evaluation by students.

Excuse me…” one thundered at another. I… Continue

Tushar Walwadikar The 'better half' yet to come!

Organisations all over have been openly supportive of driving a performance based culture where the best are treated the best. Talent assessment activities are being carried out on a war footing at many an organisation, taking stock of talent issues if any and drawing out comprehensive plans to improve t… Continue

Tushar Walwadikar What ticks in troubled times?

Economies crashing, bottom-lines dwindling, costs spinning out of control and employees being laid off…. Does it ring a bell?? I could very well be talking about your own company. And for the larger part of the corporate world this is not their worst nightmare, it is their darkest reality. The times are bad and they could get worse. Swine flu spreading over continents only symbolizes the grim scenario we are destined with. But don’t they say that you give your best when the worst arrives?? This… Continue

Madhudhar Bohra When the hunter becomes the hunted

(Ref - ET report citing the growing demand for Head hunters.) Having a lot of free time on your hands gives you the opportunity to do so much that you would have otherwise not done - surf the net, hone your typing skills, read blogs and post them, and when your eyeballs are about to pop out after having stared at a computer screen for hours you can always soothe them with cool water and a change of type font by reading the newspaper. Today's session ended with yours truly scanning the ET for a… Continue
