My friend, Bill, used to talk about people using shadow puppets when they weren’t prepared. I’ve sometimes felt like that when I hear weak discussions about “HR needs a place at the table” instead of HR grabbing a place at the table because of their business contribution. It’s shadow puppetry. But not this kind.

If HR is showing shadow puppets, at least do them like this. You’ll get a place at the table. Dazzling people is always the right thing to do.

By the way, one of my favorite all-time blog taglines is for The HR Capitalist: Get to the table — stay at the table.

Support this post around the web. We would really appreciate it.

    Wow, that was the coolest thing that I have seen all week.

    If I could do shadow puppets like that, I would never touch another Powerpoint again.

    Bill, isn’t that fantastic. And since you’re the inspiration for this post, I’m gonna guess you could have these mastered by the end of the Labor Day holiday! Wouldn’t that just be the best, to go into a meeting and do this instead of a PPT? Fab! Now I’ll have to find cool finger puppets.

    Larry, excellent. How funny.
