Make Your Career a Success by Your Own Measure, by Monique Valcour, Harvard Business Review
As a manager, how can you cultivate a sense of career growth and development for your people, even when possibilities for promotion are limited or nonexistent? I posed this question to my human resource management students recently. (The context was that we’d just been considering some evidence that “Gen Y” employees are likely to head for the doors if they don’t see short-term prospects for career advancement.) While my students generated several promising ideas, some advocated an approach that dismayed me: Companies should increase the layers of management, they argued, to provide for more frequent promotions…
Here’s How to Get That Top Performer More Engaged, by Jessica Stillman, Inc.
“He’s phoning it in.” “She already has one foot out the door.” “In a suit? Must be interviewing!.” We’ve all heard these sorts of comments about employees who are visibly disengaged. If things have gotten so bad that the whole office can see a co-worker is unhappy, is there any way for the boss to turn the situation around? Job disillusionment has many causes, so no one solution will work for every situation, but perhaps the root cause is different from the usual issues such as interpersonal conflict, burnout, or frustration over compensation or advancement.

How to Solve Your Recruiting Problems (and Where You Should Go to Do It …), by Keith Halperin, Ere.net
One of the prime purposes of ERE.net and other such forums is for advice and problem-solving. One thing that doesn’t often seem to get discussed is where someone should go for answers to recruiting problems, and that’s what I’ll talk about here. My father was a college professor of american history. He wasn’t a terrific scholar, but he was a great teacher (judging by what I saw and heard about him). One of the things he used to tell his students when they were researching a “paper” (which in those days was actually on paper), was that “It’s important to first go to the primary source whenever possible.”…
The 2 Types of People You Need on Your Team, by Sarah Chang, The Daily Muse
Charming, assertive, and persuasive, extroverts are heard loud and clear. While their energetic traits generally serve them well in the business world, the allure of extroverts can come at a cost. That cost? Well, the introverts. It can be easy to overlook those who seem quieter at first glance and not realize how much value they actually bring to your team. But since your work will benefit most from collaboration and complementary skills, by only being attracted to those who are most outspoken, you may be missing out on an essential part of creating the most effective group…
How You Can Keep HR From Becoming the “Fly in the Ointment”, by Kimberly Patterson, TLNT
Being a “fly in the ointment” is not a good thing. This simple idiom translates into times when things are going along according to plan until an unforeseen event (our little friend, the fly) occurs and stops progress in its tracks. It complicates situations and can become a larger hassle to work through. Unfortunately, too many HR professionals continue to be those flies and get in the way of progress at work and I’d like to share one…
