Last Month’s Pragmatic Manager Posted: What is Okay to Discuss

Posted by: Johanna Rothman on 07/31/2012

I wrote the first of a three-part series about looking at culture when you hire people last month. I posted that Pragmatic Manager, Your Culture: What is Okay for You to Discuss? and forgot to tell you. If you are on my email list, you received today’s Pragmatic Manager about what the organization values and rewards. Next up is how people treat each other.

This three-part series is in honor of Hiring Geeks That Fit. I am in copyediting now. While I am in copyediting, the book is only available on leanpub electronically. You get to decide the price, and you get all the updates as I fix things that my editor discovers. Yes, I will go to print after I find and fix the defects.

If you are not on my email list and would like to be, email me, or sign yourself up. If you think you are, but you are not receiving the emails, email me and we’ll figure out what’s wrong.
