Yes, the fundamentals of business and human nature remain essentially unchanged. With that said, the technological tools available to business owners today are wonderful!

Selling activities are essential to driving growth for almost all companies in the B2B space. I don't see that changing in the near future.

Re: 5 Strategic Relationship Lessons from The Millionaire Matchmaker

As an executive recruiter, I'm basically a matchmaker within a labor market niche. Other than #4 (age discrimination is not ethical, or legal), the process is similar to what any good recruiter might do. Interesting. I'll have to watch the show sometime.

Re: Corporate Sociopaths and Horrible Bosses – 7 Ways to Survive Them

Stephen Lahey — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 09:41:49 -0000

How about firing them? How about moving on to an organization that has no tolerance for people like this? How about starting a business of your own? I think that almost anything is better than having to deal with sociopaths on a daily basis.

Stephen Lahey — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 10:03:42 -0000

The steps that you outlined are well thought out and make good sense to me. At the same time, I'm suggesting that once you know that you're stuck working with a sociopath it's time to begin the process of evaluating your options. As a headhunter, I've seen the damage that these people can do.

Re: New Game: Social Media Snooping vs. Social Media Cleansing

As a headhunter, I'm aware that Social Intelligence Corp provides a service like this to employers (see http://www.socialintelligen... and http://blogs.forbes.com/nat.... My guess is that many larger companies use it. I'd bet on this idea to win, unless employment law changes. Employers have a lot at stake when they make a hire.
