Please Dont Go

     There are so many different aspects of management that one might need to find out who's in charge. I was once part of an organization that had taken every Senior Non-Commission Officer(SNCO) the minimum rank to earn the title "Superintendent" and assigned them something to be in charge of. One individual was the superintendent of curriculum development, While another SNOCO was the superintendent of curriculum review. I understand the concept as leadership was trying to create an image that others would look highly after. This might work in the military setting. With management styles, however, come many different theories. Many of the ideas we utilize today have existed since the 1920s. I recently read about an approach called Theory X. Pessimistic managers have no place in today's workforce. Theory X managers are authoritative and consider all employees only want to get out of work; they have to be threatened to get any work done, and the average person needs constant direction. Definitely a theory we don't need in todays workforce. Now Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the theory of human motivation, is definitely something I can Support. The theory is simple and progressive back in the 30's Maslow determined 5 key principles everyone needs. Self-actualization, Esteem, Social, Safety, and Physiological needs. Starting with Physiological needs, individuals will work to find the basic necessities, Food, Water, and shelter. Once those needs are met, they work up the list. As an employer, we can still consider the Theory of human motivation and build our retention plan to meet all five needs. 


Looking forward to Blogging in the future as my needs are met!!!

WHAT WOULD YOU DO

 Fellow bloggers,     As I sit here and contemplate all we have experienced over the past nine weeks, it's amazing how much information can go into one class. When we started this class early in the year 2023, I was working as an OSHA training instructor and now I sit here as a Government Civilian back working on the base. What does that mean? Well, it was an opportunity to evaluate many of the HR concepts we have discussed in this class. Below you will find three of my biggest programs and a little about how they need to be pushed to the front. On-Boarding- I was working in this exact same position just over a year ago. The hiring manager pushed the topic of a Turn-Key hire. Well, with me, that’s precisely what they got. However, had I not been a turn-key hire, the onboarding process for not only the Civilian Side but that of the office was not one to write home about. There was zero done in the office in preparation for my arrival. The office was equipped with ...

Where is the Help Hiding

 Welcome back to another night with Blog!!!   I just recently watched a video with four leaders in their companies discussing keys to individual cooperate success. All of there stories revolved around connecting with their employees and building a network both internally and externally. I really liked what Brent with Dell said about an approach to connect through brand certification. They are providing employees with opportunity to learn more about to company. The hope is the more they understand the more they will connect.  I just recently retired from a 20yr Air Force Career. So this whole corporate world is new to me but the concept of retention and recruiting is not. I spent 2005-2010 in the recruiting service and learned a lot about the Air Force at that time. I had just over three years under my belt before I started convincing individuals to sign their lives away. I was a natural I loved it. I could talk and share experiences at this point in time I had travel...

Lets talk about Text!!!!

 What a week it has been and its only Tuesday!!! We just finished on-boarding our newest hire a baby-boomer who was a joy. But what about the Gen X and Gen Z applicants. I remember the days when it was submit an application (By Paper) and if you managed to get a phone call you cleaned yourself up and went in to talk about the job. It todays HR marketplace we have way more than the "Traditional" interview setting we just mentioned. Two of the interview types don't even require the applicant to put on a nice pair of pants. The telephone interview as direct as it sounds is my least favorite type. When you are on the phone you really have no idea what's going on at the other end of the line. (Mind wanders in imagination) The Safety guy in me thinks dangerously of course. Now I understand these could be fact finding interview just to determine applicant worthiness but really if the resume doesn't give you the data what's a phone call going to really answer. Next on...
