Archive for Human Resources. What If Hard Work Isn’t the Answer? July 6, 2016. I’ve always loved the work of W. Edwards Deming. I recall watching a brief clip of a video once where he relates his interactions with a group of middle managers. He asks how they’ll accomplish the company goals, and Deming’s response is perhaps the best description of the problem with most management. “Immediately, a hand shot up in the back. ‘By everyone doing his best.’ Sounds great! You’re already doing your best. If you c...

The Myth of Motivation. July 21, 2015. Really, if your employees need constant urging to do the work, should you reconsider how you hire them?

Finding and Solving Problems. November 8, 2015. Ultimately, all business is about solving problems. From the earliest trade to the most recent, a problem is identified (or even created) and someone comes along with a solution to that problem in order to create value.
