This is a good post! Actually in our company we do evaluation twice a year. I just observed that even we do evaluation, the laziest people around are still working and earning money without doing their part for the company. It is true that employees must be trained for these stuffs.

[...] I was catching up on some of my blog reading earlier today and came across an interesting take on a widely covered event. The blog on the website Grad to Great, which is written by career management coaches Anne Brown and Beth Zefo, shared a perspective on the Taylor Swift vs. Kanye West controversy on the recent MTV Video Music Awards. While most of the media focus has been on the poor behavior displayed by Kanye West when he interrupted Ms. Swift during her acceptance speech and asserted that her award should have gone to someone else, the writers at Grad to Great argue that Taylor Swift’s reaction also left something to be desired.

Hi Lesa and thanks for your message. You are correct the politics are “thick” at review time while everyone is jockeying for position. I got a message today that my book is within weeks of being ready and would love to chat with you once you have read it. Until then, keep doing great work and it will speak for itself. Best wishes -Joe

Joe -

Actually, I would love to get more control over my destiny as far as my career goes. I think I just don’t get the politics, or don’t want to — either way — I think the effort and expertise I bring to the table sometimes is quickly ‘thrown under the bus’ by other colleges — perhaps because I might shed light on their lack of expertise — in understanding Health Plan Systems — who knows. Either way, I am very excited about your new book — can’t wait to read it —- and would love to gain half the insight you have about this very subject.

Thanks,

Lesa sem
