The producer of the show is a woman.&nbsp; Irony, anyone?]]></description><author>Jerry Bowles</author><category>Recruiting</category><category>Talent Management</category><category>Social HR</category><category>Coaching &amp; Mentoring</category><pubDate>Sun, 18 Sep 2011 16:04:22 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/Still-keeping-women-in-their-place#61736</guid></item><item><title>Hey, folks.&amp;nbsp; It's humor and like mo...</title><link>http://www.humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/A-Simple-High-Performance-Model#61705</link><description><![CDATA[Hey, folks.&nbsp; It's humor and like most humor it's an exaggeration but with enough truth to make it funny. ]]></description><author>Jerry Bowles</author><category>Leadership</category><category>Coaching &amp; Mentoring</category><pubDate>Thu, 11 Aug 2011 16:55:34 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/A-Simple-High-Performance-Model#61705</guid></item><item><title>A very moving story, Ron.&amp;nbsp; Thanks f...</title><link>http://www.humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/Lessons-From-My-Brother-On-Life--Career--and-Taking-a-Different-Path#61674</link><description><![CDATA[A very moving story, Ron.&nbsp; Thanks for sharing.

Since Obama was inaugurated, the Dow Jones has&nbsp;increased more than 50% -- from 8,000 to more than 12,000; the wealthiest&nbsp;recieved a massive tax cut; the&nbsp;top marginal tax rate&nbsp;was three times less than during the Eisenhower years and substantially lower than during the Reagan years;

The best we can do is give them the best life possible and treasure the joy and pleasure they give us in return.&nbsp; You obviously provided Ethel a far better life than she would have had otherwise and that is the ultimate source of comfort.&nbsp;

Not only have companies been able to justify ruthlessly cutting and downsizing their way into higher profits but they can blame the job losses and human costs on some kind of mysterious "uncertainty" caused by the Obama administration's policies.&nbsp; Fact is, no President in history has been b...]]></description><author>Jerry Bowles</author><category>Recruiting</category><category>Management &amp; Policy</category><category>Leadership</category><category>Social HR</category><pubDate>Sun, 21 Nov 2010 18:46:21 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/The-Jobs-War™#61387</guid></item><item><title>Thanks for the kind words, Jennifer.&amp;nbs...</title><link>http://www.humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/7-Reasons-I-Like-the-Human-Capital-League#61377</link><description><![CDATA[Thanks for the kind words, Jennifer.&nbsp;

that was the highlight of National Quality Month from the mid-80s to the mid-90s (my friend, Josh Hammond was the other), I was among the early and loudest promoters of empowerment, planting the word and the concept in the minds and mouths of hundreds of CEOs who were anxious enough about the then quality gap with the Japanese to repeat whatever mantras we made up.&nbsp;

I've worked for myself at home for the past 20 years and while it is perhaps less "fun," I must say it is far less distracting that going to an office daily.&nbsp; My favorite observation about the workplace is stenciled on a seat cushion on the Forbes yacht (which I'm sure the family will be firesale-ing soon if they haven't already).&nbsp;

But, as I recall, it wasn't easy being young in the 60s.

Morning comes to sunrise and I'm driven to my bed.
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head.
I embrace the many colored beast. I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.]]></description><author>Jerry Bowles</author><category>Training &amp; Development</category><category>Management &amp; Policy</category><category>Social HR</category><pubDate>Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:08:47 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/Trust-me-on-this-#61281</guid></item><item><title>Just heard the news that Spain won which...</title><link>http://www.humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/Paul-the-Octopus---One-More-Way-to-Pick-Your-RPO-Service-Provider-#61279</link><description><![CDATA[Just heard the news that Spain won which means that Paul the Octopus has a perfect record.&nbsp; Personally, I'm looking for an octopus that does horses.]]></description><author>Jerry Bowles</author><category>Recruiting</category><category>Talent Management</category><category>Outsourcing</category><pubDate>Sun, 11 Jul 2010 16:15:51 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.humancapitalleague.com/Home/post/Paul-the-Octopus---One-More-Way-to-Pick-Your-RPO-Service-Provider-#61279</guid></item></channel></rss>
