		<description><![CDATA[People in my line of work don&#8217;t want to admit there is little  objective evidence team building works. Reports that it does come from people like me, and the people who pay people like me, all of whom  have a vested interest in it working. Few team builders bother to create  metrics [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After all the U.S. media focus on schoolyard bullies in recent years, I&#8217;m glad to see a growing awareness of what those playground pugilists may grow up to be: abusive bosses. Prof. David Yamada and a growing chorus of researchers are out to change that by making workplace emotional abuse illegal in the Unites States. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I always hesitate to write about &#8220;duh findings,&#8221; study results making so much sense, you wonder why the scientists bothered. But I know why they bother. Sometimes the expected answer proves incorrect. Also, though the information makes sense when you think about it, without the study you never would have thought about it. Those thoughts [...]]]></description>

The best-known firm in the niche market of railway high-technology came up with an innovative way [...]]]></description>

The story is told in a new book, Implosion at Los Alamos: How Crime, Corruption and Cover-Ups Jeopardize America&#8217;s Nuclear Weapons Secrets, by Glenn Walp, Ph.D. Walp&#8217;s credentials [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I once shocked a manager by telling her I thought she had rated me too highly in an annual performance review. I don&#8217;t recall the details anymore, just the stunned look on her face. Some mistake I had made during the year, though I had identified and corrected it at the time, made me feel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Group members believe in using rewards instead of punishment to foster cooperation and will back that belief with money, according to a study on cooperation in groups I have summarized in TeamResearch News. If you use punishment instead, you are acting irrationally to your long-term harm within the team, the article suggests.

		<description><![CDATA[Finally: 500 sources.
When I started TeamTrainers ten years ago, I wanted to make sure I was only telling my clients what really worked. I&#8217;d attended some trainings on team development and read some books in the six years I&#8217;d been doing it at my work. Few spoke of actions I was finding most effective, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The trend toward pre-employment personality testing concerns me for various reasons I won&#8217;t rant about now, but one of the biggest is the spurious basis for the judgments drawn from these tests. Personality and performance are both so complex, any claim that you can predict the best personality for a given job is, at best, [...]]]></description>

But money does play a major role in ways that fact hides, as shown by a 57-year-old model of human motivation that got more support from a new survey by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
