Make Truth Safe

Topics: Editorial Advisory Board, HRExaminer, Jason Seiden, by Jason Seiden
“It’s the scariest thing in the world, telling the truth, because if you get rejected, you have nothing to hide behind. When you tell the truth and lose, it’s because your truth didn’t measure up. And because we all tend to carry our personal experiences into our professional lives, what’s difficult for us as individuals becomes difficult for the teams we join.” – Jason Seiden

The Case for Candor

Topics: Dr. Todd Dewett, Editorial Advisory Board, HRExaminer, by Dr. Todd Dewett

The Mistake in Expecting Millennials to Pay Their Dues
