"Social networks work for cause-driven organizations because they focus on friendraising before fundraising. They create the necessary social capital that makes raising budgetary capital more efficient,

eliminating the need for street teams, cold-calling or mass-market

appeals.

Friendraising before fundraising creates better friends who will lend you their time, their…

On why some recruiters have a bad reputation...

Quote for the Day: Friday, August 10th, 2007

"Recruiting has a fairly bad reputation. It is often spoken of as a profession where people stretch the truth, promise what they cannot deliver, and act only in self-interest with candidates.

Candidates tell stories about recruiters who were initially friendly and helpful, promising them assistance in negotiating for a position, and who then quickly ignored them when the client did not express interest. Some… Continue

Finding my voice

I’ve been engaging in something this week that a lot of people find to

be, well, let’s see… vile. Yeah. That’s a good word - a lot of people

look at what I’ve been up to as vile. I don’t think it is, though. I

think I’m actually providing a service. I am giving people an

opportunity to do something that they might not be able to do

otherwise… I’m trying to help them find a new, different, exciting,

COOL job.…

On changing stereotypes: The Boss...

Quote for the Day: Thursday, August 9th, 2007

"The stereotype of the boss is changing: Today's successful manager is generally more of a facilitator than an autocrat. Yes, managers can unilaterally hire, fire, and evaluate employees, but much of the job entails running meetings, guiding teams, building consensus, collaboratively setting policy, and troubleshooting. Happy managers enjoy that process, and would rather plan, inspire, and guide than crank out reams… Continue

On communications, another bullshit job...

Quote for the Day: Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

"Essentially you're getting paid well - in the six figures up to 50 percent of your base for bonus - to write e-mails, memos and articles for senior management that their employees have no interest in reading. Oh, and through these written communications we're supposed to inform and engage employees so that they're proud of the company they work for."

On the paradox of Voodoo Metrics...

Quote for the Day: Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

"Despite management's obsession with hard numbers, many organisations are a fact-free zone, swirling with untested

assumptions. Horrifying sums of money are committed on superstition or

whim. Thus, fact-based management is really triple-distilled common

sense. It's hard. It requires judgment, practice, help, humanity and

wisdom. It needs scepticism and experimentation. It needs reasoned

optimism… Continue
