Leading-Workplace-Change Blog, New Tool for Human Resource Professionals
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 22, 2008 -- Practicing leadership is not an easy task - and will not get any easier during challenging economic times. The new blog, Leading-Workplace-Change (http://cultureconsult.com/leading-workplace-change/) written by noted organizational culture expert, Terri Kruzan is a free tool for human resource professionals to complement their management development offerings for leaders.
In the blog, Ms Kruzan takes events in the news and everyday experiences in the workplace and uses them to explain difficult and complex leadership skills to assist people and organizations adapt to change. Her short posts are similar to mini case studies, providing humorous insights and concrete examples of how to mindfully manage organizational cultures to better meet business objectives.
The idea of using blog technology as a leadership development tool evolved through Ms Kruzan's work in change management. She realized that a blog is a way to privately and consistently reach people to support them in a change management effort. She understands the power of stories to motivate people and keep them engaged in a long-term process.
For example, a recent series of posts in her blog are about the dynamics of political campaign staffs as organizations. In Culture of Presidential Campaign Staff (http://cultureconsult.com/leading-workplace-change/2008/07/28/culture-of-presidential-campaign-staff/) Ms Kruzan illustrates leadership techniques and provides insights regarding the power of founding leaders in creating the culture of their organizations.
One regular reader of the blog - Steven King, Branch Manager of Cloverleaf Financial Group reported - "I love the pithiness. The writing is colorful, evocative and gets to the point, despite writing about ideas that are sophisticated and complex. The storytelling feels organic and rings true?"
Another example of a post is about generational differences in the workplace - These folks are not willing to pay their dues (http://cultureconsult.com/leading-workplace-change/2008/05/30/these-folks-are-not-willing-to-pay-their-dues/) where Ms Kruzan talks about the importance of focusing on requirements rather than preferences when managing people. The blog posts in Leading-Workplace-Change cover a wide variety of topic areas to provide leadership development stories to meet a broad range of adult learning needs.

Investing In China: Chinese Banks
China?s banking sector has traditionally served as a party-controlled feeding trough for its inefficient, unprofitable state-owned enterprises (SOEs), most of which were technically insolvent. The process was simple ? extend a loan to an unqualified SOE applicant, then write off the loan as a bad debt when it failed to repay. This situation is beginning to change, and Chinese banks are attracting the attention of foreign banks that are beginning to view them as investment opportunities rather than potential competitors. Nevertheless, China?s banking industry is beset by several problems.
