John, You Ignorant #$X!&

Topics: HRExaminer, Tom Janz, by Tom Janz
“John: I’m right there with you when it comes to lamenting low levels of prediction power being brought to bear on hiring the best people from among those who want the job.

We know a lot more about how to predict performance value than your column asserts with a whine, but little evidence.” Tom Janz

Overwhelm

Topics: HRExaminer, John Sumser, by John Sumser
The anxiety produced by our accelerating and expanding future is causing our views of the future to contract. It’s a crazy paradox. The more we know, the less we know. The more we can know, the less we want to know. The less we can tolerate the info, the more we need to expand our reach. The more we expand our reach, the more we see boogie men. – John Sumser

The Dangerous Rise of the Rogue HiPo

Topics: Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, HRExaminer, Leadership, Rebecca Callahan, by Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic
Why is it so challenging for organizations to manage their HiPos well? In our view, the key problem has to do with the common gap between leadership emergence and effectiveness.
