Fresh starts, new resolutions and new goals to achieve. I hope you have figured out what 2017 will mean … Continue reading 2017!
I woke up to a barrage of posts on social media criticizing a customer service company for one honest mistake. Not the best way to begin the day especially when the organization happens to be one of your favorites. I began to dissect the situation to analyze if all the ‘hate’ on social media was … Continue reading Living in a seemingly unforgivable world
8 months, 6 stages, phases of anxiety, a few curveballs – all leading to one big evening. I first heard of “Are You in the List” in 2012 when my colleague won the award. Ever since, I’ve wanted to be ‘on the list’. What I didn’t know is that the journey to the award would … Continue reading I’m on the List!
I was recently asked a few rapid fire questions and I realize rapid fire's are harder than I thought they were. I'm sharing with you the questions and my answers. There were of course other tougher/longer questions, but we'll save that for another time 🙂 As an emerging HR leader, what keeps you up at … Continue reading Rapid Fire
When earlier this month I was offered a chance to attend the Grace Hopper conference, I jumped at it. What I didn’t expect is that I’d find myself enjoying sessions largely aimed at women in computing. I left wondering why I’d never attended this before.

Not everyone is in the same place on the curve. Take technology for example. We’ve been talking about it for as … Continue reading The future has arrived….

Reinventing Performance Management by Marcus Buckingham & Ashley Goodall Let's Not Kill Performance Evaluations Yet by Lori Goler, Janelle Gale & Adam Grant The Performance Management Revolution by Peter Cappelli & Anna Tavis Yes, I realize that they are … Continue reading Three reads on Performance Mgmt
2016 was an eye-opening lesson especially for those who believed that major decisions revolved around data and facts. For many, it was a wake-up call in the most disastrous of ways. However, for a large number, it proved what we had long believed. Decisions are largely based on emotions and not as much on facts. … Continue reading What 2016 taught us about public opinion
A false sense of urgency can be devastating. In our rush to find the next big thing, the next “disruptive” force, we often don’t give things time. Organizations rush to eliminate bell curves before they are ready for it, decisions become data driven even before we understand the data and reorganization decisions are taken before … Continue reading Let things take their time
Remember how mood-tracking apps were all over the place a few years back? It fed beautifully into the whole self-quantification phase that individuals had just embarked on. I wonder why it never became mainstream. I quite liked the idea and to be honest, I still do. The intent was noble. An individual tracks his/her mood … Continue reading How are you feeling right now?
