I’ve said on multiple occasions that a manager’s job is to hire and train their replacement. Not only does that allow managers time to step away from their devices and take a vacation, but it allows them time to develop themselves. The key to hiring and training your replacement is delegation. It’s knowing what to delegate and when. Managers need to create a connection between learning, goals, performance, and the business.

Chances are, executives, managers and employees are not always going to agree about how to handle company issues. Business is complicated, and so are people, so it’s natural that disagreements will arise.

I received the highlights from a new CareerBuilder study this week and they made me laugh for two reasons. First, because some of these ideas are actually pretty good, and second, because whoever wrote the press release of the data analysis is a bit off the mark. The gist of the research was this: people are looking for jobs (no surprise there) and some of them are doing interesting, strange, or downright weird things to try and stand out from the crowd.
