Indeed, he retired from the column because there are so many more dreams he wants to accomplish with his remaining time. Raspberry says, “The next step — or at any rate, my next step — involves two more questions: What is worth doing? What is within my reach?” I found his questions profoundly appealing.
Opportunities to contribute, to excel, to attain goals, to create happiness are everywhere. You need to find those that best match your dreams. Take a look at Renew, Restart, and Revitalize to Continue the Journey.

Comments (0)PermalinkPrepare for a Successful LeaveSaturday October 4, 2008Maternity and paternity leaves with the Gen X and Gen Y employees are commonplace. For those workplaces that didn't offer these leaves already, the Family and Medical Leave Act makes employer compliance mandatory. Intermittent leave is a nightmare, as I have expressed before, but leave for a new baby is straightforward. The mother and dad can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid time off from work to welcome the new addition and make baby part of their lives.
Most companies require the parents to take accrued vacation and sick time prior to the unpaid leave. This practice enables employees to receive a paycheck over a longer period of time. Leaves for a new baby came up for me this week because I found an article that addresses what an employee needs to do, prior to their time off, that will enable them to have a stress free leave and a successful return to the workplace. The interests of both the employer and the employee are preserved.
Written for librarians, the steps for preparing for a leave are universal. They protect the employer, the employee’s job, and the coworkers who are covering for the absent employee. I recommend you read about how to manage maternity leave. It’s worth your time and attention.

Comments (0)PermalinkHow to Form a Work Book ClubThursday October 2, 2008
October is National Reading Group month. Reading groups or book clubs at work are one of the least expensive, most motivating forms of employee development. For the price of a book, employees learn the concepts in the book to expand their management skills, out-of-the-box thinking, and personal growth.
They learn leadership skills by leading book discussion sessions. These sessions are excellent for team building and as an opportunity for employees from different departments to get to know each other. Book clubs are also a way for managers and employees to interact and get to know each other in a relaxed setting.
In company book clubs, employees select books about topics they want to learn more about. As an example, in a company that sells its products internationally, a group of employees is reading books about globalization. Another group is reading about agile software development. Others are reading management books such as Jim Collins' Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don't (compare prices).
Beyond the concepts in the books, people also gain a shared language, shared terminology for the concepts they are studying. I am really a fan of reading groups. Try one of these recommended books.

Comments (0)PermalinkRehire Someone You Fired?Tuesday September 30, 2008A reader asks an interesting question. Do any of you have a different point of view, knowledge of trends, or the experience of rehiring an employee you fired? Please post in "comments."
Question:"I am looking for your point of view on trends from the employers' perspective to rehire someone whom they fired. Do you have any posts or details on this subject? Specifically, are employers concerned that there would be resentment on the employees' part, the psychological aspect of it? The internal politics
with employees and how the employer would be 'viewed' rehiring a fired employee? Is this a problem? I am based in Shanghai, China and finding HR experts is tough."
My Response:
I would not rehire someone I have fired. This is because I follow all of my recommended steps before I would fire someone. That means they have had every chance to improve and they are not suitable for my organization, for whatever reason.
People don't change that much. If you are prepared to overlook the reasons you fired the individual in the first place, the same reasons won't go away but, possibly, the firing was not totally justified.
I'd rather train and mentor someone new. And, yes, there will be anger and resentment and the other employees will question management's judgment if you rehire someone you fired. But, mostly, the reasons for which you fired the person have usually not gone away. I recognize that laws and other considerations in your region may be different.
This is what I believe. I am not aware of trends or research. I have not written on this topic as I don't believe it should happen, except under a rare circumstance. I can't really think of any that would qualify. Let's give other readers the opportunity to chime in.
I'm curious about what other readers think?
