Work is Personal. The Work Matters. I'm in an EMBA program right now, but I view this journey as something that started long before that program, and which will continue long after -- continuous learning, continuous improvement, a "Perpetual MBA".
I'm thinking of renaming this blog to "management-issues redirect" since that's all I seem to be doing lately, but they consistently have interesting articles.
Finding an organisation worth working for is a great resources of questions to ask and tactics to use if you're looking for an organization that won't flunk a "spiritual audit".
Hidden behind the endless talk of organizational values are profit-driven, high-pressure labor camps trading paychecks - and diminishing perks – for your soul. All of which means that uncovering a company's corporate culture is a critical task for today's job searcher. As important as the job itself.
The first step is to identify your own cultural values, then research what you can from the company website and objective (potentially hostile) 3rd party sites such as WetFeet or Vault. Finally, arrive early for interviews to gauge the company culture yourself and ask culture-based questions in the interview. The linked article has a long categorized list of useful questions.
