<description><![CDATA[Businesses that want to stay competitive and successful will need to hire employees who can think critically. It's not enough to hire someone with a college degree. New hires will have to be curious, analytical and good problem-solvers. Critical thinking was considered the most valuable characteristic that would help their companies grow, more than innovation or increased information technology. Work settings are changing rapidly forcing employees into new job roles. Critical thinking skills will become invaluable. As certain types of jobs and job environments change, flexibility and adaptability will become crucial to meet real-world conditions and something that human resource professionals and recruiters will need to screen for in interviews. It will also become important to develop your existing employees' critical thinking skill sets as well.]]></description>

<title>Mixing Magic and Coaching For Leadership Derailment Interventions</title>

<description><![CDATA[Intervention coaching is tough duty. When a leader is derailing or in free fall, we get the call. When bad behaviors have gone past the threshold of tolerance, or when a team is falling apart with no plausible solutions in sight, we are contacted at this eleventh hour moment. We come in to perform our magic. Since these cases can be a can of worms, we are fortunate they are a small percentage of our overall coaching practice. The upside is that while these are often rocky and emotionally draining for all involved, if done well, interventions can be remarkably rewarding. Magic may sound over-the-top. But, the term is not too much of a stretch given that the solutions we reveal tend to amaze our clients. Even more striking is that the derailing leaders themselves are the ones who frequently seem the most pleased and relieved. Because we are able to reveal correct and logical options that are otherwise elusive to clients, it does seem to them that we are performing magic.]]></description>

But that's not the only thing that makes them different from their parents. What makes Millennial a different breed of employees are the attributes which psychologists continue to witness among people in that group: a reluctance to compromise, self-centeredness, the tendency to change jobs frequently, and the attitude that they work to live rather than live to work.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have seen many candidates looking for work say, that the employer never called or never bothered to send an email; after I scheduled a phone screen, met for an interview and waited for notification. Maybe you haven't been in the position to hire people but you would at least let them know they didn't get the job. It does something to the self-esteem to show interest and then you don't have an explanation as to why they weren't chosen for the job. It's OK to let them know they weren't selected as your final choice. Most people can take that news. As quick as it took to let them know you were interested in them for an interview; you should be as quick to email them back, at least and say you didn't get the job. It's just common sense to be courteous. Never take it for granted that you won't be on the other end of that table one day, asking someone to hire you for a job. Wouldn't you want to know? Of course you would.]]></description>
