 As we round up the year 2022, I hereby leave you with two Pervasive Statement:  Firstly, That most modern HR Professionals do not read.  HOW?  In April and last week, I gave myself two assignments - Old and New words in HR Management and The Rat Story, which I asked for assistance and up til now no response.  Secondly, The HR Profession is on a high speed to extinction  HOW TO STOP?  Professionals must start to READ and SHARE EXPERIENCE, and of necessity stop KNOWLEDGE SHARING for now.  There is no new thing under the sun.

 Today I wish to tell you a village story and hope that your reaction would help relieve my HR burden.  The mother of the Rat died and all preparations were made for the burial including a new set of drums.  However, something happened two days to the burial day that led to the postponement of the ceremony.  The family mandated the Rat to put the drum set in the ceiling until the new date. When the new date came and the family asked for the drum set, the Rat acted Dumb, Deaf and Blind.  REASON?  The Rat had gone into the ceiling and eaten the drum set in the interval.  If I could get a minimum of three reactions putting current HR Management practices into the above story, I will share this my great burden.

 Consequent upon the current economic and employment situations, very many HR Managers now say "YES SIR" to unlawful and unreasonable instructions.  On another hand, either out of ignorance or lack of integrity modern HR Managers do not know that they have the right to say "NO" to unreasonable and unlawful instructions.  Whenever you say  YES SIR" to unreasonable and unlawful instructions, what you have done is called" MALICIOUS OBEDIENCE". During my active work life, at no time did I say" YES SIR" to unreasonable and unlawful instructions. For me:  MO=f(LoI). That is Malicious Obedience is a function of Lack of Integrity.  The hallmark of charlatan HR Manager is malicious obedience.  Whenever you say" YES SIR" to unreasonable and unlawful instructions under the guise of the Boss is always right, you cease to be a professional HR Manager and transforms to an Administration Manager.

 Delegation without Supervision is Abdication.  As part of staff engagement in one place I worked, we had monthly staff party which included the crowning of the Employee of the Month.  However, the challenge which the organization faced was staff low turn-out, the budget of four million naira by management notwithstanding.  To grow the attendance at the monthly staff party became one of my performance goals for confirmation of appointment.  I achieved a 150% increase in attendance by delegating the actual arrangements to employees and merely supervised what they did.  Equally, based on their recommendations, the cash prize for the Employee of the month was increased by 100%.
