Office Politics Can Destroy You

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011 by Tim Giehll

We’ve discussed multiple different ways the world of arts and the world of business coincide. Today is another addition to those that I have already shared with you. This day is a day we take some advice from Shakespeare about love and war, as well as business. Today’s topic: Macbeth.

The Liberal Arts CEO and Shakespeare

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011 by Tim Giehll

A while ago, I mentioned to you about how I have a daughter who studies philosophy and literature in college. We’ve discussed multiple different ways her world of arts and my world of business coincide and have even produced a blog from one of those very discussions. This time we have a series of blogs set up for you, this being the first. This day is a day we take some advice from the greatest playwright of our time and apply it to the business world, because what Shakespeare taught us about love and war, he can also teach us about business. Today’s topic: Hamlet.

HR Thought Leadership and YOU Part 2

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011 by Tim Giehll

An HR thought leader is someone who has innovative ideas and concepts – someone who, despite what is going on around them, defies convention and tries something new and succeeds. It is a term that was coined over fifteen years ago and has a lot of new dynamics in the current age.

There are common traits that can be found in those who are HR thought leaders in this day and age and my goal is to share some of those with you today so that you may hone such traits in yourself and your work.

Body modification is a broad term encompassing all types of piercings and tattoos in a work environment.  Here are a few different suggestions of how to handle this growing trend:

Public Reaction to the Book and Concept

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 by Tim Schram

We attended five shows in the second half of 2009, and have had positive feedback from introducing both the Human Capital Supply Chains concept and book. Now as we dive into 2010, we’re looking forward to continue spreading the word and the book to more people as it relates to their recruiting software and staffing software.

Most trade show attendees had their attention drawn to our booth because books have a lot of appeal. The best part about talking to people is seeing their reaction.  Many times, people told us they immediately understood the concept. You could tell by the way their faces lit up as the proverbial light bulb lit up as if to say, “I get it! I understand the concept!”  That is because these people understand the theory that applied in manufacturing and other industries, some of whom had personal experience with it.
