When others bail out

My client this morning was feeling some doubt and uncertainty because other folks in his situation are bailing out of their jobs.  It made him wonder whether he’s just the last person to notice that there’s something bad going on.

How often are you actually productive?

Here’s a secret that many don’t want to admit:  At work, most of the time is spent not being productive.  In the worst case, there are many activities which are actually counter-productive – they’re taking you further away from the goal.

When so many people are worried about losing their jobs, they’re scared to raise attention to this not-so-useful work.  After all, maybe if you look busy, they’re going to assume that you must be necessary.

Your choices when a company is shaken

As many of you know, I had a long career with Hewlett-Packard.  On Friday, I was surprised to hear that the CEO resigned amidst murky circumstances.  Perhaps we’re hearing the real story, perhaps we aren’t, but it doesn’t really matter that much.  HP is starting another change of leadership.
