Human Resources Human Resources Employ People Manage People Succeed at Work From Susan M. Heathfield, your Guide to Human Resources Vol. 12 No. 70 - ISSN: 1533-3698 May 25, 2011 Dear People: Lots of new material in today's newsletter and I'd appreciate some serious feedback on my new generic manager job description. I am especially light in the operational end of the business, as you might expect. So, any of you managers or HR folks out there with some thoughts or opinions about the new job description, please email me at the link below. I also had some fun this week with training dragons and I have finally explored the concept of emotional intelligence. When I have experienced a manager failing, or at least, not succeeding as well as might be expected, it is often his or her underdeveloped emotional intelligence that is to blame. Share your experience in comments. I also wanted to mention, since they will never headline the newsletter, that I am developing FAQs on certain topics that answer good basic questions about teams and team building and employment termination, to start. I trust you are having a great week. Comments, questions, suggestions? Email Me. Please forward this newsletter, in its entirety, to your colleagues, coworkers and friends, because you want to add value to their work and lives.
