Consider a room full of Directors all reviewing the performance of their managers. They are setting goals, establishing development plans, and comtemplating who are on the fast track to promotion and who will need coaching.

Managers take note. A friend once told me having a good human resource manager/director is the equivalent of finding a good dentist. This actually made great sense to me. No one ever wants to see the dentist. You certainly don’t visit a dentist unless you have to, and you never think about your dentist until that critical moment when you really need him.

So you just got a new job. It's your first day and you want to make a good impression. Shake things up. Drive change. Make your mark. In short, you have just chosen suicide. Although I am not one to preach by parables, let me tell you a story I tell any new hire who joins a company.

Sometimes life hits you in the face with a reality check. It may be something as simple and annoying as a rainstorm knocking out your internet for a week, or a little more significant like your son trying to see if your cell phone has the same effect on Diet Coke as Mentos. In my case, it was both... at the same time.

"When do I get my life back?" yelled the manager as he completed his sixth straight week of more than 60 hours in the office. "You get your life back when I get mine," answered the director who has a cot in his office because sometimes it’s too dangerous to drive home on California freeways while exhausted.

Where can you spend $600 to be treated like crap? One word… Delta. Actually, I should address them by their formal title, Delta Airlines, which went out of its way to provide the perfect demonstration that small moments of crappy customer service can crescendo into hundreds of miserable people.

Every one of us could tell a story about someone in our company. It could be someone we know and work with or someone we’ve never even met. That’s because every company has its "memorable" employees… the machine operator who discovered a way to streamline the system and made the company millions, or the young ex

Statistics show more than 80% of us have gotten into a relationship with someone at work. Over 60% of us actually married someone we met at work. The fact is, we spend most of our lives on the job and it stands to reason that we will eventually run into someone we want to get to know better. Based on these statistics, meeting someone at work is simply the most effective dating site you could possibly imagine and there is no monthly fee.

Let's face the truth.If you are out of work, you are one out of every ten people around you. That means when you apply for a job, you are one in several hundred who want that job just as badly as you do. Actually, for the average job seeker, the odds are there are people who actually want the job more than you do and are in this race to win it. The people I find getting the jobs have disciplined themselves to focus like a laser on their goal.

I have been in Human Resources for more years than I would ever like to admit. My career has provided me with food, clothing, transportation, and shelter. As I travel and visit other companies I always pay special attention to the HR department. They are usually overworked, tired, and feeling unappreciated. But that is the lot of the HR Professional.
