How to Get a Job on Craigslist
I recently ran a help-wanted ad on Craigslist. The position was a photo-editor job for a site that I dare not mention because some people will complain that I promote it too often. Here’s what I learned a lot from this experience—much of which you may apply to a job search if you respond to a Craigslist ad:
The Talent Pool Has No Deep End

Strategic Succession Management - Winning the War for Leadership Talent
The demand for leadership talent greatly exceeds supply. Few firms are prepared for what the McKinsey consulting firm has called the "war for talent." If economic growth continues at a modest 2 percent for the next 15 years, there would be a need for one-third more senior leaders than there are today. The supply of 35- to 44-year-old managers-who have traditionally been channeled into the executive ranks-is declining in the United States and will have dropped by 15 percent between 2000 and 2015. Baby boomers have already started to retire. Most large companies will have to scramble to meet gaps in senior leadership talent. Not only are the numbers in the talent pool shrinking, but the quality of talent required to meet tomorrow's leadership demands is changing.
So where are all the Elite Sales Performers?
I received yet another call today from a sales manager asking me where he could find a really good sales pefomer for his business. He complained that most of the sales people in his industry had been around the block too many times and no new skills, ideas or talent where being brought into his industry. Same old people, same old things, same old results. Trouble is he is not alone and the Elite Performers you want are most likely working in other industries or markets and are not even thinking about working for you.
Human capital new king for PEGs: building bold leadership for change
A recent Forbes article by Matthew Kirdahy titled "Filling the Talent Pool" begins: "The focus at private equity firms is shifting. Cash will always be king, but looking ahead, the most important type of capital may very well be human. It's a company's bold leadership that carries it into financial prosperity-not its product, services or numbers." This new focus on talent will surely improve the success rate of acquisitions, which is typically rated at less than 50 percent.

Surviving the Economic Boom: How to Keep Your Employees
Every day in the news we hear about the economic boom that Western Canada is facing. With this growth comes an interesting human resources side effect: strong competition for employees with not enough people to fill the vacancies that have been created. All employers have been affected, from large corporations to small business owners. In this article, we provide you with some strategies to address an often overlooked, yet critical human resources challenge: keeping the valuable employees that you’ve already got.
Organizational Talent You Need To Succeed
No organization can continue to prosper and grow without having the right people in the right jobs. Quoting Jack Welch of GE fame, “Winning is about having the best people on your team. It doesn’t help if you’re surrounded by people who are less talented than you are.” So much of leadership is about accomplishing results through others.
The Soft Side of Managing Talent is About Making Hard Choices
One of the greatest barriers to optimum team performance is having people on the team that are not capable of pulling their weight. Keeping the wrong people around is unfair to the right people because they see their hard work impeded by those who cannot or will not perform as needed.
How to Encourage Inclusiveness and Diversity
Diversity is much more than a program, hiring a few people of different gender or ethnic backgrounds or allowing a few diverse opinions to surface from time to time. It is actively searching out and embracing the uniqueness, strengths and talents of all people, so the organization can have a collective impact on the greater good of the individual, organization, customer and the community.
Business Knowledge to Shape Your Future
We are living in a “customer driven economy.” People are walking into car dealerships with an internet invoice price list in hand and stating what they will pay for a vehicle and in some cases stating exactly how they want the vehicle equipped and when they want it. In this new environment; Time – want it now, Money – want it cheap, and Quality – expect it in product, sale and service, is the admission price to do business.
A Talent Driven Organization
“Winning is about having the best people on your team. It doesn’t help if you’re surrounded by people who are less talented than you are.” So much of leadership is about accomplishing results through others. The building of a great team starts with developing great leadership or a “great coaching staff” – a staff that gets rewarded for building a great, high performance team.
How to Build a Great Team
Success in the workplace is no different than success in sports. It’s about having the best talent and using that talent, knowledge, skill and strength in the right place at the right time so you and your team can win the game. Do you know who your best talent is? Have you told them? Are you taking care of them? If not…Why not?
How Developing Countries Survive Intellectual Drain Competition
Global companies based in the developing world look much like their developed-world counterparts. They manage their employees with similar policies and pay practices. In this world of sameness, differentiating the employment brand requires a new focus on career development.

Neuroscience And The Natural Leadership Talents Of Women
In 2010 women made up only 12.5% of corporate board members. This was up from 9.4% in 2004 but the rate of increase is too slow. At the current rate of change it will take over 70 years to achieve gender-balanced boardrooms in the UK!*

10 Steps for Your Sales Force to Survive and Thrive in the Recession
I was in the pool, playing catch with our six-year old son, when Henry began a "dialog" with me. He said, "You can't play catch in the pool. It's against the rules." I was stunned, but apologized, said I wasn't aware of that rule and removed the football from the pool. There was another guy in the pool and he mentioned to me that the pool rules did not include an exclusion about playing catch. I mentioned that to Henry and he became irate because he owns one of the resort's units, wrote the rules himself, and said, "It better be on that sign!" So what's wrong with this picture?

Flipping the Coin for Top Talent - How Well Are You Hiring?
How do great leaders of successful companies spend half of their time? They spend it on people: recruiting new talent, picking the right people for positions, grooming young stars, developing global managers, dealing with under-performers, and reviewing the entire talent pool. Everyone agrees that talent is an important competitive advantage, but surprisingly, three out of four companies do not make their talent management programs a high priority. Hiring practices often are random and decisions often are based on intuition. In many cases, hiring decisions have success rates similar to flipping a coin!

he recession providing an opportunity to purge those with little sales talent. Essentially the economic doldrums separated the professionals from the wannabes. More importantly, as production increases organizations need to find more professionals. Competition will increase thereby creating exceedingly tight labor pool.

The Myth of the Born Leader
The final level of mastery is to make it look natural. That's a key reason so many people believe achievement comes from winning the gene pool - either you're born with it or you're not. A tiny number of athletes, performers, artists, musicians, or leaders succeed without really trying. But the sad reverse is often even more true. We all know people with tremendous natural talent who do very little with it. More common are ordinary people with average talent who take it to extraordinary levels.
