I met Vinnie Brown just a short while ago. I guess he was reading my pleas for guests on Twitter and decided to raise his hand.

Before the show he posed as someone who was kind of nervous to be coming on and facing the crew but once he showed up everyone could tell that he wasn't a guy who gets nervous very…

Many years ago when I first got into recruiting I was given a bit of advice by a very wise HR professional.  He said, "Glenn, whatever you do...never....I mean NEVER....EVER become the head of recruiting for a company.  It is a painful, thankless job.  You can never do it fast enough or cheap enough and everybody will hate your guts - - especially HR folks!!!"

I'd like to clearly identify the topic of this post. It is not about messaging your friends on Facebook and…

I recently had the pleasure of talking to the members of the Mobile, AL chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management. Prior to my presentation, during the networking opportunity I walked the room stopping at each table and asking whether they were ready to go back to work and empower change in their organization. At one of the tables I stopped at, I received the response “sure as long as I don’t have to resign.”
