I just spent a week in Mexico at a great resort and had a lot of time to think. There was a global environment conference near Cancun where thousands of people were sharing their knowledge on how to save the environment. So began my thinking process.
There are a lot of retired practitioners of HR that have faded away or just left business totally to spend time playing golf, sailing, reading, tennis or some other athletic sport. But what they have not done is passed all that great business knowledge on to the next generation of HR practitioners. What a shame that is to not share that great knowledge.
I am sure there are those who will say that business has changed, technology has passed them by and I say to that, not so. Dealing with people, executives, managers, and other policy related items have not changed and that is the rub.
So my challenge to you is find an avenue for passing on your HR and business knowledge. Get involved, I have through my blog and a local community college.
