In one of my OB/OD questions we discussed this very topic. Leader's inspire their team and are able to match the right people to the right jobs/tasks. For example, a great leader knows their team well enough to know individuals strengths and match...

Veronica Gibbs commented on Dave Graziano's blog post 'Social Recruiting...all Twitters is not a Glitter.'

As I'm doing research and getting ready to do a little sm presentation to my team I keep seeing these kinds of posts and think "ok, what message do I bring back?" I think, maybe the message is balance and understanding these tools are just one mor...

I always enjoy reading your blogs, they are always very interesting and educational. But, I think that I disagree with your comment about passion/engagement. It's hard because you write so well I kind of always want to agree but after thinking ba...

Veronica, take heart in that you are really NO different from the 20-somethings of EVERY generation. We have all had "our" world-view, "our" world-challenges, "our" technology, "our" heroes and villians, "our" music, "our" dreams and passions, et...

Thank you Maren & Dan for your kind words and encouragement. I definitely needed it. It's a strange feeling sitting in an office discussing your blog with your leader. Part of me always wants/has to defend myself and another part had to say "Be hu...

Return from Hiatus

It's been a busy couple months. I got married on May 14th and spent a week in Jamaica. I'm officially Mrs. Gibbs! It sounds good but maybe a little strange. My husband is in the Army, stationed in Fort Lee, Virginia so he took a 30 day leave which was really wonderful. He's back in Virginia getting a new place for us. The movers come on the 18th to pack up my apartment in Michigan, my last full-time day with Blue Cross is June 26th. I'll be in the Richmond, VA area (Chester) by July 1st. My hubb… Continue

Random Musings

This recruitment community is so interesting - it has become part of my daily routine. I really enjoy reading the posts of various member. Up to this point I've not really been connected to a professional community - except for the professionals at BCBSM. But I'm really glad my sm research led me here.

The social media project is going well - I am learning a lot about the value-add and shortcomings of the mediums. You can't ignore social media - our world works in social media and my generation… Continue

Lessons in Social Media (And An Attempt to Make Amends)

So, today was not a great day. I definitely learned an important lesson...

A) Tags work, be careful how you use them
B) I need to work on my 'inner filters'

I had to pull a few blog posts down because they were not well appreciated by a particular group mentioned. Although when I first found out I was even more irritated after speaking with my leader I realized that my posts were a bit short sighted.

My leader is great at refocusing my energy on productive tasks.

Regardless of my feelings, o… Continue

A Short Film from My Generation (y)

I found this video on TalentCloud after Peter Gold followed me on twitter. The site looks very interesting. It should keep me occupied for the rest of the evening.

I am not sure if I endorse this or not just yet but I do see some of the truth in the way we (gen y'ers) see the world.

Although, it is pretty clear we are a bu… Continue
