Ringo was onto something.  Friends make all the difference. 

I can hear you groan on this topic and I promise you, I feel your pain but someone has to tell you that life is not fair

I went home last night filled with joy and goodwill toward my development teams. 

As often happens in Talent circles we spend a good amount of time thinking and talking about high potentials.

I’m probably not alone in the need to remind myself that the problems I’m worried about most, are usually me looking at the small problems.

Here at TalentedApps we have had a few discussions about bosses (both good and bad)

I’m sure I’m not alone in having close friends and family members with the unfortunate task of looking for a job.

Was reading my AARP magazine (that I, of course, only read for the articles)

I have noticed a few great pieces of advice lately on do’s and don’t for job searchers.

Was watching an excellent Charlie Rose last night where he interviewed Malcolm Gladwell and Geoff Colvin on their books

When I hear talk about hand wringing about flex hours and how do you keep people focused when working from home I must admit I don’t get it.

We talk a lot about how effective performance management requires regular coaching and feedback. 

So someone just did a study to prove what we all know to be true. Happiness is contagious. 

While attempting to fix a network issue at home* we stumbled upon a box of old floppy disks.

Real leaders do the right thing, even (or especially) when it means that you have to let a poor performer go.

When we were first acquired into Oracle, there was more drama than a high school prom. 

If I asked you what is your unique value to your organization, do you have an immediate and compelling answer? What if I asked your boss? 

Those of us who follow the Talent Management investment curves, know that Performance Management and Succession Planning are the hot trends

I’ve been thinking on this topic off and on for some time trying to figure out how to write such a post

Those who have been reading for awhile know I’ve been pondering integrated talent solutions for some time.
