I’ve spent the last several years reaping the benefits of an expanding social network. Through channels like twitter, facebook, Linkedin and foursquare I’ve met (both in real life and via these tools) many amazing people. My view of the world has changed, I have new colleagues and friends I can reach out to at anytime, and I continue to learn everyday. It is obvious to me that investing the time in my network has paid off over and over again.
But what about the people I see everyday? What about the new leaders in my organization? What about the projects that are just getting off the ground inside my organization? Have I reached out internally as much as I have externally?
Change Isn’t Good…It’s Awesome
My organization is moving at a fast pace. We’re growing, both in the number of new jobs we continue to create, but also in the programs and initiatives we are launching. It seems as if there is a constant buzz of enthusiasm everywhere you turn. That’s a good thing.
“Human Resources must understand the business operations first, and then do good work to support those operations second. All too often HR pros believe their transactional forms and requirements are the core business…they couldn’t be more wrong.”
How About You
What have you done to reach out to your colleagues? Are you up to speed with their work…the work of your company? Or, are you too busy checking the latest regulation that will require a new policy and a great new triplicate form?
I’d love to hear from you.
No Excuses.
