Everyone knows good meeting practice -- but few actually follow it.
James Schreier's insight:
This is a good article but I would disagree with the lead of "everyone knows good meeting practice." My experience is that organizations and people within them have not learned how to have more effective meetings so they keep doing them the way they "always done them."

His clients liked him, as did his boss and coworkers. Consequently, no one in the department was surprised when his boss offered him a managerial position. Tom accepted with some ambivalence—he loved working directly with clients and was loath to give that up—but on balance, he was thrilled. Six months later....

According to a survey published this month by Right Management, 83% of employees said they are actively seeking a new position for 2014. Gallup’s State of the American Workplace study earlier this year found that 70% of workers are not engaged or actively disengaged and emotionally disconnected from their workplaces, and thus less likely to be productive. Gallup’s research also finds that engagement is strongly connected to business outcomes essential to an organization’s financial success. Here are three workplace trends that are likely to keep employees engaged and retained in 2014: Via David Hain

A South Florida Walmart employee is under arrest after shooting up a co-worker’s car hours after police said he grew disgruntled from learning the fellow worker had been selected as the store’s Employee of the Month.
James Schreier's insight:
I'm rarely a fan of the "typical" Employee of the Month programs but I don't know the details of how the program works at WalMart -- but this is still a very unexpected result. I have to wonder if WalMart (managers) had any clues about the employee's behavior prior to this event.
