It was a very special trip and to share it with my mother and brother – even more special. Thanks Suzanne.

Sally:

What a wonderful trip! My heart and soul are in Paris … I first traveled there in the early 1990′s and can still remember how alive I felt when I first set eyes on the most wonderful place in the world. I was also fortunate to “treat” my parents to their very own trip to Paris for each of the next two years. Wonderful memories to have as an adult! So happy that you were able to share such a wonderful trip with your Mom.

Nice. Closure especially will differentiate any employer. Setting expectations and delivering on them is the essential ingredient to engaging quality candidates.

Ginger,

Sorry for the slow response – the holidays captured my attention!

I agree with your insightful comment regarding how important the advisor role becomes during an organizational downsizing. At the same time, serving as a confidant during times of growth is equally important to ensure growth is managed effectively and employee engagement remains high.

Sally,

Thanks for a concise framework to define the HR leaders’ profile! It is a great starting point to the conversation when searching for top HR talent as well as re-evaluating the organizational need as the company transitions through phases.

I also recommend organizational leadership teams revisit this needs assessment periodically. As a company progresses through life cycles and responds to environmental factors, this framework might also act as a fundamental tool to determine what impact the evolution has on the current leadership team…not just HR. I would expect an organization experiencing downsizing requires a stronger confidant/advisor role than, say, an organization going through rapid expansion where the cultural institutionalization is more critical.

Brenden,

Thanks for taking the time to comment and for the retweet. I just had my first look at Wright on Leadership (http://www.wrightonleadership.com/)and I look forward to following your blog.

As to your “Anti-Social Media” entry we too are seeking a Vice President, Human Resources in the DC Metro area for a new client. If you have any thoughts on that one, I promise it won’t go down the same black hole as your previous referral!

Best regards,

John
