My least favorite laws of life

November 9, 2006

Sitting at home tonight, I got an email from Seth Godin about a philanthropic Squidoo campaign that he’s running – he is trying to get everyone on the Squidoo site to do a lens on a single topic on a single day. The event is organized to benefit the Keep a Child Alive campaign. The campaign topic is “My Favorite Things”.

Always the contrarian, I couldn’t come up with a list of “favorites”, so I came up with a different topic – My least favorite laws of life.

Check out the Squidoo Lens I created on the topic, and while you’re there, check out a few other lenses from the series, and help out a good cause.

And, while they may believe it, that’s not what the data shows. In The War For Talent, the authors published the results of a McKinsey study that sought the answers to the following questions.

Does your company:
      - Bring in highly talented people?
      - Develop people quickly and effectively?
      - Retain almost all high performers?
      - Remove low performers?
      - Know who the high and low performers are?

Does your company do these things? How many companies do you think actually do those things?

Read on for the answers…
