There's racial bias, political bias, biased based on sex/ sexuality...There's also personality bias. Next time you interview a candidate and say "I don't know, there was something about him," dig deeper for the "why." It may be subconscious bias getting in the way.

Daft. I want to scream and cry simultaneously. This baby's parents were just murdered and the President takes a glam photo with a thumbs up. I don't think I can take this anymore.

My thoughts today transcend hiring. We have to try to curb our tendencies to assume, categorize, lump. We might share similar ethnicities, jobs, geographies, skin color, dialects but we are all different. If we innately have to judge, then judge on actions, not on assumptions.

"People like you..."

What does that even mean?

No two people on the planet share the same finger prints. And, yet, so many of us start our arguments with preconceived judgements...sputtering phrases that start with: "People like you." ...

Not telling someone they have a typo on their profile or resume is like not telling someone they've got a little somethin', somethin' in their teeth.

Do you manage up OR down? I would argue that BOTH are essential if you are truly going to succeed in leadership. But, is one more important than the other?

My opinion? The manager who ONLY manages up is bad...real bad.

My opinion? The manager who ONLY manages up is bad...real bad. His/her reputation gets trashed fast. This person loses talent constantly, which means business slows and profitability shrinks. The manager who doesn't manage up can burn bridges and piss people off, but if s/he is running a great dept and getting results? Then they are doing their jobs. No? Chime in, as always. #Business #managementskills #leadingchange"

Here's what I don't want to see on your resume. The fact that you belong to one of the most expensive country clubs in the world. This tells me you're rich and damn proud of it too. Don't do that.
