Rejection hurts
Guess who isn’t a Top 100 HR blogger?
Me! (Who else would I be complaining about?)
Anyway, this list is a pretty good look at the amount of HR blogs out there. One notable omission (besides the unforgivable omission of yours truly) is any of the creations of Recruiting Animal. What gives bootstrapping person? You’ve got several blogs that haven’t updated for a month or more but no love for this goodness.
Anyway, I would add more of the one’s I haven’t heard of before but many of them don’t update even as regularly as I do. And I am definitely on the edge of acceptable blogging regularity.
Just as a reminder, some of my content is going to my Vault blog. And no, there isn’t an RSS feed yet but I am told it will be coming soon.

HRM Today- 3 Keys to Reducing Defensive Reactions to FeedbackWhen it comes to developing talent providing quality feedback is the most underutilized "tool" in any manager's toolkit. Most managers are able to intuitively assess and describe employee performance issues, but what is difficult is communicating this information to the employee. Nearly all managers dread initiating these conversations and often avoid them, particularly if they have a congenial relationship with the employee otherwise. Frequently, the area for development relates to difficult to quantify behaviors. Discussing these issues with an employee can seem out of the question—after all, what if the relationship between the manager and employee is somehow damaged? The underlying problem is the inability to translate what is “known” into effective words that are both comfortable to say and will have the right effect on the employee.
- Boomer Brain Drain: Not Gonna HappenMaren Hogan sent me a link to a website called Boomer Advisor. Specifically, she wanted her Twitter network to read an article called Companies Must Work to Avoid Boomer Brain Drain. Ugh. The article is disturbing for a variety of reasons — the least of which is because it’s about Baby Boomers. I’m disturbed because the [...]
- Call Center RecruitingMy HR blogging friend HR Minion and I have been talking about call center recruiting lately. Back in the day, at my first HR job, we hired anywhere from 10 to 30 people per month to work as sales/customer service reps for a very popular infomercial product. The job was hard to fill as it was only [...]
- Qualities of Good Presidents and Good EmployeesI love this post from Michael McKinney at Leading Blog. It’s based on a new book from Alvin Felzenberg, The Leaders We Deserved (and a Few We Didn’t): Rethinking the Presidential Rating Game. Felzenberg devised six criteria to best describe various U.S. presidents’ contribution to history. Based on this exercise, he presents a list of what [...]
- If Sales Ran Your Company…If you’re like me, you have heard many references over the years to a “revenue driven organization” or “client facing firm”, all code words for those cultures where sales rules the roost. So what would happen if they ran your entire company? For one, if revenues were down in a given quarter, it would likely [...]
- HR Controversy in the BlogosphereIf you think HR is boring, you’re right; however, we do have a few of our own controversies circling around the blogosphere. No, there isn’t a conflict between those who want to use red personnel folders and those who prefer blue. (Although I’m not saying that the specific color of folders hasn’t been an issue in [...]
- Personnel vs Human Resources: Is There a Difference?A senior human resources executive emailed me to ask whether I still see the term “personnel” floating about in today’s market. She found the term to be a bit demeaning and old school, feeling it reflected an era of lesser value than today’s current HR function. Which begs the question - is there really a [...]
- Flip Flops at Work? Not in this House!That’s it. I’m done. I’m soooo done. The last nerve has been fried and the camels back is officially broken. If you want me I’ll be in a corner pounding my head against the wall. I know I’ve joked about it in the past, but, 1. Is it that hard to tell someone their outfit is [...]
- Paranormal Infestation as Affirmative NLRB Defense?ABS Heating and Cooling was found to be in violation of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) when they stopped paying their employees in accordance with the union contract...however, about that same time, they were being investigated for paranormal activity. Was there any connection?
- Illegal Hiring Practices?Is it “legal” for a public agency to fill a position without advertising it (internally or externally)?

- 3 Keys to Reducing Defensive Reactions to Feedback



Hello (from a lurker). We could start a list of the Top 100 HR blogs you aren’t reading.
Lance,
You are my #1 HR blog. And #1 HR guy. The only one I’ve got RSS feed for.
Who makes up that goofy list anyway?
Good suggestion Laurie!
Thanks CJ
No offense intended to Bootstrapper…but they are a credit card company that began in May of this year…and their blog is mostly lists of lists. And like you say, many blogs on their HR list haven’t been updated in a long time. I’m not surprised I wasn’t included (my blog is very new and mostly an outlet for my complaining…not meant to be so educational). But know that your blog IS read and people who know a thing or two about HR DO read it and respect it.
Aww…let’s hug!
