Comment on: Blog Post 'The Nice Guy': d an edge over the years... and I'm probably not the person one wants working against them. (Sounds tough, eh?) :-) But, let me add something to the mix here.... It's great to "stand up" for yourself, your beliefs, etc. But there's always a risk. And, if, in the end, the risk of consequence outweighs your immediate need to maintain your dignity (if only for a moment) then compromise is upon you. Seriously, would you be willing to lose your job over a particular point? I've been in that situation a number of times...hence my self employment. LOL In all reality, there were several occasions where something needed to be said...and I did not say it because I feared it would cost me my job. And, in those moments, "roof over-head" and "food on table" far outweighed right or wrong in the discussion. So.. well, I'm sure y'all get it. That brings me to one of my points; real freedom to be yourself, and stand up for yourself, comes, in part, from being in a position to "afford" to stand up for what you believe. I did not make this reality....it's just real. It's the same on the street. Ask yourself what conflicts you turn (the other cheek) away from for fear of physical harm or death. That's real too.. just watch the news. "Too nice" is a tricky dynamic to navigate in life. And, I don't have the answers... just a couple of points to add. The second one being; If one becomes an ass to overcome being "too nice", well, they've "sold out" and are now just another ass...IMHO. So.. where's the line? If you stand up, solid and firm, for what you believe, can that not be "perceived" by some as you being an arrogant ass? Ohy! As I said; I don't have the answers... But, obviously, I contemplate this issue frequently. I think it's part of maturing and becoming who you are...which, in my opinion, is a never ending process. Sometimes a bona-fide dilemma.

Comment on: Blog Post 'Digging Into RecruitingBlogs.com v1.30: Predictions': unities that are started lack a guiding hand from someone with the organizational and inspirational ties to bring good content in that isn't purely self-promotional. Jason has now done that at least twice, and using different mediums. Replicating something like RBC in other industries or in the recruiting world just isn't easy. Thus when most people think of monetization, they think of advertising and some kind of pay for play model. You give info to the Talent Talk Cafe, you sell products, something like that. That's not how it works. The value for us the members is in the connections we make. This is true for all networks. Thus pockets start to emerge inside the community where extensive value is being transferred back and forth between recruiters, vendors, and pundits. What is going on gets harder to track, but the vitality of the network and the overall economic good generated increases. I can safely say that if an individual finds their niche in this community, they will be able to extract value. And the reward for keeping the site from becoming spam central is the direct monetization from advertisers. 2. How to's abound: The use of RBC, including the best uses for specific subsets of recruiters, are necessary Right Now. 15,000 is too many to manage, and the fragmentation of the community only works when strong voices step up. The opportunity for the next Dennis Smith, the next Harry Joiner, the next Jason Alba, and the next Maureen Sharib is right in front of you. If you have something to offer, now is the time to do so. First-adopters have an advantage, but RBC is still young. Carving out your area of expertise by showcasing how you succeed will enhance the value of the community and your own personal brand. 3. Slouching will be ruled unconstitutional, but with global cooling starting to rear its ugly head, 90% of Canadians will find themselves wearing stocking caps indoors, and a riot will break out. It will be a polite riot, mainly a bunch of kind men and women standing around asking what the government is going to do "aboot" it, until a Mahdi figure arises from the masses, who is known only as the Animal. The rest is too scary to contemplate.…; Added by Jim Durbin at 5:08pm on December 21, 2008
