Brian Moffitt comment-49031 2011-04-12T16:30:37Z 2011-04-12T16:30:37Z Excellent interview. PS - it's "Geri Hamby, not Jerry Handbe". I used to work for her.

She's ready and Sacramento is ready to have her be THE City Manager (not interim and not Deputy). Is that the writing on the wall?

I appologize for the inconvenience.

My top style is "attachment", followed closely by "turf". There is a questionnaire that Becky developed. I've sent her an email asking her about it's availability. Stay tuned ....

Brian Moffitt 2009-08-02T05:16:35Z Brian Moffitt comment-11087 2009-07-22T21:01:37Z 2009-07-22T21:01:37Z Good point markitect .... about 80% of the work environment culture is tied to a manager's "stuff". The authors of the book also emphasize creating an atmosphere of safety in order for crucial conversations to occur. This can be created by managers both verbally (inviting tone of voice, not yelling, etc.) and non-verbally (open body language, affirming nods, no leers, etc.). Also, organizations that align their performance management and reward system with innovation and risk taking are well suited to have crucial conversations.

I look forward to seeing future submissions. Brian Moffitt 2009-07-16T00:26:37Z Brian Moffitt comment-10713 2009-07-15T00:32:19Z 2009-07-15T00:32:19Z Great questions Colleen .... Most of the guests that come on my show are affiliated with the Sacramento Organization Development Network, Sac Chapter of the American Society of Training & Development, Linkedin, and others as a result of watching the show on Channel 17. Some I know through my work as the Organization Development Manager with the City of Sacramento or as a teacher at various graduate schools. Guests are lined up through the summer - there's alot of expertise in Sacramento and they are all VERY eager to volunteer and share their tips to help viewers get a job, develop their career or business, or improve morale and productivity. I keep those goals in mind when I come up with topics. I'm trying to offer something each week that will appeal to the job seeker, the career minded, the new or expanding business owner, or leaders, managers and supervisors. I'm always looking for new guests or individuals that have an expertise to help viewers / readers find and create good work or have a story to tell that can inform and inspire others!

Brian Moffitt 2009-07-13T03:52:08Z Brian Moffitt comment-10261 2009-07-04T15:10:33Z 2009-07-04T15:10:33Z Very interesting and comprehensive. I suspect William you have some expertise in historical buildings/architecture. If so, perhaps you should list your credentials at the end of your story?? Brian Moffitt 2009-07-04T15:10:33Z Brian Moffitt comment-10049 2009-06-30T19:30:02Z 2009-06-30T19:30:02Z Thanks Mark - interesting idea. My thinking for using "Good Work NOW!" in the title is to let readers know it is a weekly column, which may not be conveyed without it .... I'm wondering if there is another option .... One example is that Sac Press reframed this week's article title as "This Week on Good Work NOW!", and left out "toxic co-workers", on the "culture" page .... Keep the comments coming folks - I really want to deliver helpful, free information in the best way possible. Brian Moffitt 2009-06-30T19:30:02Z Brian Moffitt comment-10020 2009-06-30T05:07:31Z 2009-06-30T05:07:31Z Help me understand why you think this weekly column is an infomercial? All newspapers have some kind of column that offers tips for business, careers, etc. (ie, Career Builder in the Sunday Sac Bee). This is essentially the same thing with a supplemental video component. And, as stated in the background/disclosure, this column and accompanying TV show is a non-commerical, volunteer effort. The definitions I found on the web indicate that informercials are commercial with their intent (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=ig&defl=en&q=define:infomercial&ei=PptJSuOLO4XQsgO526noBw&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title), I encourage other readers and Sac Press to weigh in on this. Thanks.

They were on my show last Sunday. I'm taping a show with JobLink next Wednesday.

I do plan on having future shows focusing on "getting the right consultant to help you business or organization" and "successful grant writing" .... stay tuned :) Also, Sacramento Works, Small Business Admin, and others have workshops on how to get government contracts. Check out their websites ....

It features weekly discussions with experts on how to find a job, develop your career or business, or improve morale and productivity. I also post segments on You Tube (search "good work now") and on my face book page. I hope you can tune in! Brian Moffitt, Ed.D. Brian Moffitt 2009-03-30T22:25:15Z
