Well, you have heard me offer advice and comment on a broad range of topics over the past six months.

Would you (or do you) color your hair for work?
By Murrel Crump on 12/13/2007 11:47 AM
I have recently come across a number of main-stream articles and prominent blog inquires on just this subject. You’d think this is not a “guy” topic, but it depends on who and where you are for it to matter. You can pretty much thank the boomers for getting our American society caught up in this quandary; but who would have guessed the political leaders in China are setting the pace for their country.

By Murrel Crump on 12/11/2007 7:57 PM
I came across a recruiters blog entry, where the poster Jennifer Klimas, bemoans that fact that, “Almost every where you read or even turn your head, you hear people talking about the upcoming talent shortage.” And she asks, “So, what are companies supposed to do about it?”

The Luckiest Person Alive…
By Murrel Crump on 11/28/2007 8:25 PM

It was during those years that I exercised any fascination I may have had with gambling (penny slot machines if you must know the truth). So, when Indian bingo in the desert became Vegas style Indian Casinos I wasn’t the first to rush their doors, but…

Generation Y… Not so different, but a new challenge to managers.
By Murrel Crump on 11/27/2007 8:05 PM
If you have been following the entries in this blog, then you know that I have spent considerable electronic ink on the relational considerations between baby boomers and Generation X in the workplace. But now, I think it is worthy to note that in a recently released study of Generation Y, “The research depicts a pragmatic, future-oriented generation that holds many of the same values as its predecessors…”
