Re: Do You Run Red Lights? An Interview Question

Hmmm...I can't say that I have never gone through a pink light. But I'm not proud of it...and I don't make it a habit. I pull out of a blind spot to go through a light when I leave my train station. One at least 5 occasions I've almost been mowed down. I guess because people can't see cars coming on the other way they think it's okay to blow the light. And there has been a person killed at that light. Person ran a red light. It happens everywhere. It's about respect to me...and recklessness. I dunno, I can't say that I haven't done it, but I think there's an awareness of the world that comes with waiting just a little. So, my answer is, if you do, think about it.

"Tell you a lot", in what way? I'm curious, what would you consider a good response to this question?

Well said, Frank. I like the way you always strive to keep things upbeat and positive.

Re: It’s Time to Go Old School in HR

Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Mahatma Gandhi, et al, were all people who checked in with peers, loved ones and cohorts on a regular basis to discuss ideas, analyze results, measure progress and yes - even review their performance.

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one Frank; when it comes to HR, old school means performance reviews and performance management, not the absence thereof.

There is quite a bit of business literature out there already under the heading of 'change' or 'change management'. While the theme of 'change' is definitely relevant, the word and topic is growing tired. Maybe it's time for a new word ... metamorph? Transmogrify? Evolve?
