HR Carnival, Freaks, and Serendipity

One of the greatest things about playing in the social media arena is the wonderful serendipity that unfolds.  For example, a few months back, I was comparing resources with fellow leadership development colleagues Dave Brand, Dan McCarthy and Susan Zelinski . At that time, they recommended the site Institute for Corporate Productivity as having great free resources. (This conversation turned into the blog post 25 Free Leadership Development Resources).

Then, a few weeks ago, I received notification that the HR Carnival would be hosted by Erik Samdahl of (wait for it) the Institute for Corporate Productivity.  See what I mean? Ah, serendipity.

So, how could I not offer up a post?  I’m pleased to be affiliated with the great bloggers that contribute to the bi-weekly HR Carnival posts.  Take a look at Erik’s compendium for this week’s Carnival:  HR Carnival: HR Freaks.

Also, a well-deserved shout-out goes to Shauna Moerke , who, as the Carnival’s Ring Mistress, has to step in from time-to-time and get us back in line. Thanks, Shauna.  We couldn’t do it without you!
