Competence of the Human Resource Profession

I just read about the results of an interesting new study, “State of the Global Talent Nation”, conducted by Softscape. 94% of the 250 human resource professionals surveyed say they “don’t feel their personnel are adequately prepared to meet future company goals”. And that is 30 percent worse than three years ago. What’s even more disturbing? More than half of them say the big reason this is so is they are not confident that their business effectively manages human resource processes.

This was a great conference – one of the best I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to a lot of them both as an attendee and as a speaker – 8,000 professional development pros from all over the world. I learned a tremendous amount and met some wonderful new and interesting people and sold and signed a lot of my books.

A Holistic Approach to Decision Making

When making decisions, too often we rely on 'gut-feel', and try to pass it as "reasoning".

Any decision, MUST represent the decision-maker's values, beliefs, expectations, etc. Otherwise it is not that person's decision. Yet, if we are not careful we will inevitably sway our decision with our biases, thereby arriving at a sub-optimal decision.
