This is an extract from a great article by Chris Ferdinandi pubklished in June 2010. He mentioned 21 random ideas in HR Management but here are the 10 I liked the most
1- People have a life outside of work – and it makes them better employees…
2- The best performers usually don’t make the best managers.
3- Performance appraisals don’t work. Regular, ongoing feedback does.
4- People do better work when they feel it’s meaningful and challenging.
5- When you talk in HR jargon, you lose trust and credibility.
6- The best HR pros interact with their employees every day.
7- Those who perform well in interviews don’t necessarily turn out to be good at work too (so much for psychometric this-that-and-the-other)
8- Just because someone did something well at one organization doesn’t mean they’ll do it well at yours. The circumstances are different.
9- Curiosity and drive are more important than experience.
10- Great HR Management is about getting out of the way (and letting people do amazing things).
