Social media as a predictor of job turnover?

"Employees who do not belong to any social networks leave their jobs more rapidly than those who belong to four or fewer. On the opposite end of the spectrum, employees who belong to five or more social networks also leave their jobs more rapidly than those in the middle group. Employees who belong to four or fewer social networks tend to stay put the longest."

I don't consider myself a major fan but that hasn't stopped me from buying all their CDs. Oh, well... some sort of 'conscious uncoupling' here? Do you remember the movie Wicker Park when The Scientist played near the end. They couldn't have chosen a better song to fit the scene. Interesting, the word Ghost. The Police's Ghost in the Machine (1981) was an excellent album and I like the Cure song, The Hungry Ghost (on 4:13 Dream, released in 2008. Looking forward to a new Cure album this year) Al Gore's book, Earth in the Balance , remains a favourite of mine. Which is why I would like to get a hold of Our Choice . Looked at in the context of our planet's history, what we're do...

Leaders and employees

Jacob Morgan has a book out called The Future of Work: Attract New Talent, Build Better Leaders, and Create a Competitive Organization. He talks about the book in his Forbes post and his manifesto . I especially like the graphic on the evolution of the employee on the Forbes website. Jacob's also involved in a collaborative initiative, The Future Organization. You can join if this is of interest and if you can afford the membership. Good employees stem from and result in good leaders, leaders who inspire, according to Bain and Company, their article, Leaders who inspire: A 21st-century approach to developing your talent . " Leaders can no longer rely only on traditional leadership skills to be effective. They can no longer simply issue directives. Nor can leaders rely heavily on the traditional tools of motivation—the classic carrot-and-stick approach. Instea...
