I really enjoy working in the scattered, jacks-hit-the-marble-floor HR model. No harmonization but lots of buzz words. That's my fave.

Re: Second Law of HR Dynamics

I like -- For every action there is an equal, but opposite, reaction.

I never understood physics, but this one makes sense in HR. Implement a better vacation policy or a more thoughtful parental leave policy, and someone likes the old policy better.

Laurie's law: You can't please everyone. When in doubt, do the right thing.

Monica,

Have you read Barbara Ehrenreich's thoughts on MBTI? She presents compelling research on the misuse of MBTI during the hiring process (& corporate America) in her book BAIT & SWITCHED. I think Jungian psychology is interesting, but I would argue that its hermeneutic is limited to a personal reflection. MBTI is often inappropriately applied in the workforce. The results are personal (at best) and are not scientifically grounded.

My two cents, yo. I would be careful with reading too much into personality tests, horoscopes, astrological charts, etc.

Best,
Laurie Ruettimann
