In Serious Need of An Attitude Adjustment

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.

This is one thing that drives me up a wall... and it's everywhere

Have you ever had this type of thing happen to you when you call a company and expect service? ALL I WANT IS TO TALK TO A REAL LIVE HUMAN BEING. Is that too much to expect? It must be, because I never get one. When will personal service and personal contact return to the marketplace? There...I feel better. Now back to joyful living.
