    I really like your point that your role as HR is to help employees be successful. We had a great HR department at my last company, but I could never have told you that was their role. As far as I knew, their role was to staff jobs, price salaries, and work on benefits. These things are all helpful, but they are more behind-the-scenes helpful. It's refreshing to imagine an HR team thinking up ways to strengthen their employees' abilities.

    Great blog!

    Hi Chris,

    I thought what you wrote was so right on the money for business. I've passed your article along to many of my consulting colleagues -- how true it is that accomplishment matters. In the Self Esteem Movement Era of 2007, too many people have been brought up on the "nice effort" platform. That's just not good enough, as you point out.

    Yes, I do think that HR's job is to help employees be successful. Unfortunately, too often HR can get caught in the back office stuff. Or worse yet, the punitive actions. How about HR uses performance management to help everyone be successful? That would work for me!

    Thanks much for your powerful post...and for your comments here. Back at you about your work.

    Cheers.
