A bluffer’s guide to keeping up to date with the TmTd blogsite.

Check these out (and know why):

• The problem with HR doing leadership development - because Keith is right about this. 100% right - leaders should be responsible for leadership formation, and until HR professionals are given real leadership responsibilities in organisations, they should stick to their compliance and IR functions.
• File swapping now illegal (at least in the USA) - because this is the next blow in the entertainment world’s slugging match with its own customers. Stoopid!
• The difference between knowledge and skills workers - because I think its important to know what economy you’re working in, and what that actually means.
• The Sequel to my Story (and the first part: If I Ruled the World) - because this is the funniest set of experiences, and makes you want to cry if you weren’t laughing so much (read them in order for maximum effect)
• Conversations vs Information and Our need to contain, control and understand - because these two entries helped to define our view of blogging. And because it was interesting that mainly Boomers responded to Keith’s (a boomer) first entry, and mainly Xers responded to Barrie’s (Xer) entry. Its the same conversation from two different generations, and its fun to compare them, and learn from both.
• Empty Nest Syndrome or Empty Country Syndrome - because I think more and more Boomers will go through this.
• The great HRDA vlog - because its our first vlog - a little gratuitous, but hey…
• Professional or not? - because there is a lot we can learn from the world of sport, and because of Mike’s comment.
