Seth Godin blog is always a good read. We found this entry especially appropriate based on some of our work in the last week with organizations truly looking to define their most valuable resources and assign them to the most strategic roles in the organization.

An excerpt:

I define "sheepwalking" as the outcome of hiring people who have been raised to be obedient and giving them a braindead job and enough fear to keep them in line.

Take a read and following in alignment with Knowledge Infusion's "NO PARKING" theme for 2007, lets also add No Sheepwalking!!

The value of HR, HRMS, Talent Management technologies is to assist employees in understanding the value and direction they can take an organization.  Lets use them to their fullest to insure that we are not losing our people because of our hierarchies we have in place.

Another infusion of knowledge..
