My belief is that politics are the true measure of human achievement. Our ability to work effectively or not with millions of other individuals to create a reasonable society says a lot about us. Sadly, this post is about the failure of the "Leader of the Free World" to work through anyone. http://peopleplatformhr.blogspot.com/2010/07/balance-of-powersreally.html

About Me

After over 10 years in operations, I have jumped through the educational and corporate hoops necessary to build an 11 year HR career including 3 of America's largest retailers. I hold a MSA in HR from Central Michigan University, a Senior Professional in Human Resources designation and a tremendous desire to put HR in touch with Operations on every level. My online posts are my personal thoughts and are not representative of my employer or my day job.
