Topic: Dave's Anti-Union Adventure: nd need to comment on its anti-union slant. As I've said with other "news" reporters on RBC and recruiting related sites, sometimes you have to click on the links and check the sources. Here goes! Dave-O sends an open "I hate unions and this is why" email that speaks to this story. The facts in this are that the story was presented in early September 2008 by Motor Trend's online site. It was picked up by many a conservative organization such as the CNS News whose parent organization is the Media Research Center; MRC's Chairman is the famed ultra right winger, Brent Bozell, self appointed media watchdog. The main source in the Fox story is from the Center for Union Facts, one of Rick Berman's front groups "that defend his corporate clients' interests by attacking their critics, allowing his paying clients to remain out of public view." Berman has always refused to identify the sources of funding. Naturally, the Michelle Malkin's of the conservative news media love this stuff. She cherry picks some financial performance data gleaned from a Detroit Free Press article that somehow is no longer at the DFP site but is available here. Oh, and the UAW doesn't run the golf course; it was set up as a for profit organnization with for profit leadership. From the conservatives' viewpoints this is all shocking, shocking, shocking! But let's wear our business hat for a moment - I know this is tough for some recruiters to do - and see how this investment fits. Does the Walter and May Reuther Family Education Center add value to the UAW's balance sheet? As many balance sheets are looking bleak now, jettisoning assets don't automatically make for a profit. In reality, the UAW holds $1.2 Billion in net assets so time will tell.…; Added by Steve Levy at 4:26pm on December 27, 2008

Topic: Paradoxically Simple: ially during a recession. I suppose that, at times, the simple enormity of life and the balance of said life can get in the way and drive us to distraction: a distraction away from the task right before our eyes: the first step, the primary objective, the preliminary goal, laying the groundwork. Why do we, as HR Professionals, Recruiters, Salesmen, Businessmen, and Marketers, opt for the high and difficult climb? There are many roads to take to get to the same destination, we just tend to gravitate toward the more complicated and steep path. I am not really sure why this happens. We forget to take a little time and typically, plunge headfirst into martyrdom. Why is it so difficult to be strategic in our decisions and when completing objectives? When utilizing a tactical approach, revelation of each move can happen one step at a time. And it can be quite fascinating as each move is revealed and a glimpse is caught of how a business or project will play out. There is no hard and fast rule that states one day at a time but we hear it often enough that maybe there should be. Don't put the cart before the horse. Walk before you run. Look before you leap. Amazing advice that is routinely ignored in vapid eagerness to complete a search, close out a project, or jump into a new work adventure. The frayed edges of impatience often lead to misuse of time or mal-aligned goals. I suppose there is such a thing as getting there too fast. "Patience is the art of concealing your impatience." ~Guy Kawasaki While speed is necessary in the technological day and age in which we live - being first to market, first to the right candidate, a first mover -- learning to slow down in order to make the right move is imperative. I guess that's where simple gets thrown out. It is quite the paradox. by rayannethorn .…; Added by Rayanne at 2:36am on September 9, 2009
