Yes, ANOTHER show about sports...

You can learn all you need to know about recruiting, talent management, effective team dynamics, managing star performers, aligning compensation with performance, and succession planning from studying the history of the National Basketball Association.

Don't believe it?

Where else but in big-time sports can you see the effects of talent assessment, recruiting, leadership, and employee engagement played out again and again, in public, under the spotlight, every day of the year?

What players to draft, which ones to develop, which ones to cut loose, and how to build the right mix of personalities and talent to achieve team goals are the primary concern of all sports franchises, and quite honestly, they are the same concerns of organizations in all types of industries.

Sure, you might think this show is an excuse for Steve to assemble a bunch of his friends to talk about sports, and you'd be partially right. But sports offers a lens to most the of most critical issues you deal with every day in HR, Recruiting, and Management, so this week we'll try to make the connection. And we will also talk about the Final Four, the NBA Playoffs, and Moneyball.

Joining us on the show will be The 8 Man Rotation dream team - Kris Dunn, Lance Haun, Tim Sackett, and Matt 'akaBruno' Stollak.

It should be a great show and I hope you will join us as well!

This week the HR Happy Hour looks forward, in a preview of the upcoming ERE Expo to be held March 23-25 in San Diego.

The HR Happy Hour will be on site next week, doing a special live webcast version of the show, so this week we thought it would be a good idea to preview the event, talk to some of the organizers and presenters, and give a bit of a feel for what will be happening on the web show from the event itself.

We will dive into some of the main themes of the Expo, social recruiting, the changes and developments in technology, global recruiting and more.

Some friends from ERE will be on hand, as well as some leading expert presenters, and in true HR Happy Hour style, you never can be too sure what might happen next. I hope you can join us for a kind of a recruiting roundtable on this week's HR Happy Hour show.

This week 'Liquid Leadership' author Brad Szollose joins us, to talk about his book and how changing times and changes in the makeup of the workforce impose a new set of challenges on leaders and organizations.

Do generational differences matter? In society, in politics, in the workplace?

For all the argument, debate, and discussion about the impact of Gen Y and Millennials as 'blocks', there are an equal amount of arguments that claim these generational labels are meaningless, and people need to be valued and managed simply as individuals. Does the greater context of life experience, exposure to technology, and the major societal events actually shape and help define a generation in ways that can be evaluated and leveraged. Can multiple generations survive and thrive in the workplace if these larger and broader trends are not appreciated?

This week on the show, we will be joined by Brad Szollose, author of 'Liquid Leadership: From Woodstock to Wikipedia, Multi-generational Management Ideas That are Changing the Way We Run Things' to talk about these issues.

I know the 'GenY is a silly label' folks will be out in force telling us these kinds of debates are crazy, but I am not so sure.

Decide for yourselves this week!
