Not all goals are the same. That was a big takeaway for me from this year’s WorkHuman conference, hosted by Globoforce. Maybe on some level I knew this, but speaker Caroline Adams Miller really made me focus on the topic by discussing the difference between performance and learning goals. Performance goals are ones that focus on an outcome. The outcome (or goal) is based on performance.

In the dog-eat-dog world of business it takes a tough boss to push people to be the best they can be. After all, most people will not go the extra mile at work without pressure from the top. Right? Not necessarily. A recent study conducted by CareerBuilder found that confident leaders who manage on the basis of open communication, mutual trust and understanding enjoy increased productivity, greater job satisfaction and fewer health issues – both for themselves and for their employees.

Want to be a true HR leader within your business? Learn to influence others. When you think about it, there are few decisions that HR makes with ultimate authority. A significant portion of what we accomplish comes through the influence, coaching, and guidance of our peers, executives, and staff. I’d even go so far as saying that the majority of what we are proud of as HR leaders comes from what we accomplish without making the final decision ourselves.

Want to be a better leader? Want to motivate and engage your employees to great success? The old way of doing things relied on collecting data, running numbers, and looking at spreadsheets. Employers motivated employees with bonuses and financial perks, but few authentic interactions with management. As neuroscience enters the world of leadership development, research tells us that the basis of leadership might be different than we thought and we may need to change the way we lead.

They provide a service or product that isn’t currently available, so the business is an attractive option for potential customers. Therefore, it’s important that you make your business ‘unique’ if you want to have a thriving startup.

It could be worse.”. Businesses run the risk of hurting productivity and employee engagement by ignoring complaints or actively discouraging complaining. While most forms of complaining can be damaging, there is one type of complaining that businesses should not only accept, but also encourage, because it leads to be

According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), it typically costs $4,425 to hire a new employee — not to mention the 36 days the average team spends trying to fill a position. Yet nearly 1 in 5 employees (16%) of employees quit in their first week — and 17% leave after the first month.
