The Two Traits Google Really Looks For In Employees Are Flexibility And Hustle

  The reason the article is getting so much attention is how surprising these facts may be to people who have little experience hiring/managing in technical fields. But I thought this quote was really telling: This article is getting some attention, because Google's VP for people operations at Google has made public a few insights that the Google HR team has come to over the last several years.

3 Reasons Why Men's Wearhouse Firing Its Founder Is Completely Bizarre

  Men's Wearhouse fired chairman and founder George Zimmer today, and we've never seen anything like it. The abrupt termination begs for answers about what could have happened. Here are three reasons why it's a bizarre story: 1. The terse press release. "The Board expects to discuss with Mr. Zimmer the extent, if any, and terms of his ongoing relationship with the Company," Men's Wearhouse said in the statement (see the full thing below).

Stocks have been consistently gaining over the past few years. This is not...

Politely. Here’s the statement from Erika’s article about useful rules of the road on honesty that compelled me to write this rebuttal: ...

How "Talent Clusters" Will Help You Win A Sustainable Future

The old systems are broken. The Internet changed everything. Looking forward, we need to cultivate fluid organizations, powered by innovative, multidimensional people. I am a fan of Steve Denning, author of Radical Management: Reinventing the Workplace for the 21st Century (Jossey-Bass, 2010) and regular contributor at Forbes. In his recent article, "The Management Revolution That's Already Happening," he writes: "In the 20th Century, firms had often been successful by following the precepts of hierarchical bureaucracy: 'focus on making money'; 'tell employees what to do'; 'control performance through rules, roles, plans and reports'; and 'achieve efficiency through economies of scale.'" In the last quarter of the century, corollaries were added: “focus tightly on maximizing...
