What keeps you awake at night?

I thought about this question <lying awake one night> and two topics, drawn from my dog-eared pages of HR From the Outside In, were clearly top of mind for me: trust and delivering results.

First, there can be no leadership or professional impact without trust. Second, the quality of a relationship alone is not enough to develop and susatin credibility. Credibility is based on business contribution.

I value my sleep so I was thrilled to be able to get out of my head and into the airwaves on Drive Thru HR with hosts Bryan Wempen and William Tincup. What's so great about these lunch time conversations is that Bryan and William take me in new directions and leave me thinking after my 30 minutes are over. We covered ground on:

Delivering results v. being busy
Being reactive v. proactive
Time management and meeting
Aligning results with goals
What it would take for HR to be disruptive
Building trust and organizational values

Listen and learn why my new leadership mantra is "don't coddle me."

Did you know that there is an ad network for HR Blogger? You can read about it at TechCrunch. My blog is a big deal to me and I am very particular about what goes on these pages. I regularly delete the requests I receive for advertising, back links, and sponsored posts. I said yes this time because I know the person who asked me and both she and her organization exude credibility. Let's go Team HRBN!
