Recent Question/Assignment


Vaiman & Vance is quite reflective this week. Chapter 7 is about identity and “re-inventing” oneself – which means we must first “know ourselves”. Finally we get to the root of the situation – we can develop and find and manage talent – but first, we must know our strengths and limitations as we realistically accept the task of dealing with human beings. Chapter 8 speaks to the importance of rewarding employees for what they do – not who they are within the organization based on title or seniority.

Schweyer tells us that when taking a 360 degree view of an employee, reward and recognition “completes” the picture of the 7 step process. Note that step 6 of this 7 step process focuses on personality assessment.
