Radio 7.1 is due to ship in January

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I have to admit, the blog is a bit uninspired today. I’m in a fowl mood, and I feel like I may be coming down with the flu or something. That sort of kills any motivation I have to do any work, let alone post to the blog during the day. Leave it to me to get sick just in time for the weekend. *L*

Anyway, Radio 7.1 is due to ship in January. They’re taking it commercial, because, according to Dave:

Bottom-line: A lot of people are ready to run a Web server on their desktop.

I don’t think that’s true. I think quite a few people wish they could but lack either the technical know-how, or the time and resources to pull off having a web server on their desktop. It sounds like 7.1 will be a fairly nice Content Management System, I’m just not sold that the typical web-user is ready to put down cash for a CMS. A few die-hards probably are, and probably already have Manila, or Frontier, but most of the users are not.

Maybe I’m wrong, for Dave, and Scoble’s sakes, I hope I am and that they are very successful with Userland, they’re good people.

    Linked: Women in the Workplace

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    This is an acute problem for many of us, who want to participate in doing the work of promoting diversity and inclusion but are still getting measured by everything other than that. And, as the survey points out, it is oftentimes women who take on this work, in an effort to help other women and minorities achieve.

    But, as much as the C-Level folks talk about the importance of this work, it is not a part of the job performance, nor is time and effort really allocated for it.

    How many of you volunteer to take on this work, running an employee resource group, putting together presentations, leading group discussions, often at the behest of top management, and then when it comes times for performance reviews, the only thing that matters is time spent on bringing in revenue?

    The message seems to really be, “It’s great that you want to do this work for us, but make sure you do it on your time because your productivity will be measured against the people who don’t spend any time at all doing this work”

    Linked: Employee Retention Strategies to Future-Proof Your Org

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    So often, I see people sitting and doing the same job, the same way, year after year. Some people are OK with that, and it becomes difficult to help them grow because they are resistant to change. Most people, however, do not want that to be their career, and so they leave to find a place that allows them to grow. If you aren’t the place that supports their growth, you are at risk of losing them to a place that will. It’s really that simple.
