Salaam and Greetings,

Since I opened this Blog a few months ago, I haven't actually explored what the blog offers.

I only just discovered that you can know who has been reading your blog. If course you don't know individually, but where they come from.

It is nice to be known, but not that well known though. I am happy that the blog is read by "like minded people".

Thanks for those who read.

Why focus only on Retaining and Developing People?

-
From HR practitioners' point of view, managing talent (people) starts from sourcing (recruitment); rewarding and recognition; performance management; and of course, retaining and developing talent/people . But the fact is that, how many recruitment as managers do you actually do? Definitely not on a monthly basis, unless you are on a rapid expansion program. Also, rewards and recognition, primarily means the actual giving of increments and bonuses. One - it is a once a year affair, though most purists will argue against me saying that, it is a continuous affair. I agree, but only if seen from a development and performance improvement point of view. Hence my contention for retaining and development. Two - how much liberty does a manager have in determining how much reward managers can give their people? Not much. Especially in tight economy and the every increasing need by companies to deliver more with less, managers must really have a strong justification for the additional ...

Developing A Leadership Pipeline That Works

Salaam and Greetings All,   Hope this messages gets to you in the best of health. Despite the heavy haze and the gloomy days.   I love this type of writing is that it puts things into perspectives. A simple unadulterated perspective. First thing he said is, “ A simple, non-bureaucratic system ”.   I can’t say I have seen it all. However, I have seen enough to know, a lot of organizations can’t seem to fathom the idea of simplicity. Somehow they believe, if it is complicated, it is sophisticated. If is sophisticated, then, the designer is intellectual. Somehow, I fail to see the logic.   When I was in the Army, I was trained, the more steps, more stages you have in your plans, the more chances it will fail. Keeping things simple and easy, less likely for the plan fail, easier for people to understand and implement.   I have also seen a lot of companies, who have succeeded very well in making it simple. They somehow focused not so much i...

Walk the Talk

Salaam and Greetings All,   Hope this message gets to you well. Selamat Hari Raya. Maaf Zahir dan Batin. It was a good Raya for me. Not to hectic. Enough to keep things going and interesting. Interesting because managed to visit and have a lively chat with a few of my late in-laws' friends. Retired Army officers. Retired Police officers. Retired civil servants. Retired corporate senior management. Somehow in the course of our conversation, we ended up talking about the state of leadership, especially in organizations. Maybe due my profession in Leadership Development that the conversations invariably ended there.  Of the half a dozen or so I talked to, they all had something in common. Leaders of today are not the same as the leaders of yester-years. Leaders of today, yes, they are more eloquent, and they know a lot more than their  predecessors . Yet, one thing these retired people agreed upon, the leaders of yester-years speak from the heart, and they walk the talk. ...
