Just Give Me Another Three Days

Digitally Remastered! As managers, supervisors and team leaders, there are times when we have to make some pretty tough calls. It just goes with the territory.

Just Tell Them I'm Not Here

Just Tell Them I'm Not Here

Digitally Remastered! You know, one of the things that's easy to forget is that our team members pay attention to every little thing we say and do. Like it or not, we set the example. And when we ask an employee to do something that's questionable—like making up an excuse because we've forgotten something or don't want to deal with someone— it has an impact. It might not seem like much at the time, but all those "little tears" can eventually begin to rip our organization's integrity fabric to pieces. As leaders, we need to hold ourselves and our peers accountable to make sure that doesn't happen.

Legal Briefs™ Workplace Privacy: Privacy in Cyberspace

The internet and social media have created new areas of concern for managers. You might wonder, how can privacy law even be an issue for something that is so public? Well, the answer is, there are at least two kinds of privacy. One is where we have to keep confidential information… confidential. But the other is where an employer is not allowed to consider an employee’s private life, even if that life is very public.
