I was speaking to 120 Human Resource people last week in a Southern ON city. The Director of HR for an international company introduced me and in her remarks said this about the task of HR people. " Your job is to mitigate the stupidity of others."
I couldn't believe my ears. I was to present on empowering employees, maximizing staff potential, the art of caring leadership, plus humour and positive attitude to create a culture of employment enjoyment and productivity.
In her one statement she told me she was out of touch and needed a serious attitude adjustment. If human behaviour is nothing more than attitude in action I can't help wondering how this woman relates to the people she leads. By the way she has 8 years before she retires.
My presentation was well received by 119 HR people.I really don't know how the Director felt about it. She probably wasn't even aware of the negativity of her opening remark.
As a former teacher I love the English language when it is spoken properly. I hear this far too frequently from young people and now even adults. I hope it never becomes accepted as proper English.
