Monday, 26 October 2009

Trust and Respect is Fundamental to Any Organizational Culture

Bill Berman

"Most people who lead businesses are not in tune with human beings. They're in tune with with business side, with the financial world; they're in tune with the broad strategic approach they need to take. But the real successful leaders have learned to pay attention to both." Bill Berman

Welcome to a special Inside Recruiting Channel edition of Total Picture Radio, with Peter Clayton reporting. When George Bradt and Mary Vonnegut set out to write Onboarding: How to Get Your New Employees Up to Speed in Half the Time (affiliate link to Amazon.com), they invited a select group of experts to share their knowledge in the onboarding process. In this special series here on Total Picture Radio, we’ll be interviewing, in depth, the individuals chosen by the authors to contribute their experience, expertise, and perspective.
