Veronica Altemus replied to Teodora Hristova's discussion 'Do you think that Leader and Manager are two separate terms and what is the difference?'

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…

I think somehow your comments always get split into two duplicate posts...

Veronica Altemus 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…

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…

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,…

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…

here here Maren. Veronica, we all stuff up, we all have suffered from bloggers remorse. My thoughts are if you don't mess up, you aren't trying hard enough. Take the feedback, admit to it (as you have) learn from it, and move on to the…

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… Continue

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

Posted on April 6, 2009 at 6:33pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

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… 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… Continue

Day 1(ish) of the Social Media Project

Posted on March 30, 2009 at 9:22pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Well, it really isn't day 1 but it just sounded like a good title. Journeys should always start with a Day 1. The last post was a preface.

A portion of my time... I mean focus... today was mostly on LinkedIn. Of all the social media tools suggested for recruitment purposes I see the most value in LinkedIn without any hesitations.

My hesitation - I am struggling with the idea that as corporations use these social media tools for professional purposes those of us that have… Continue
