After seeing "photographic proof" that the Yankees are afraid of the Phillies before the game(Your can see it here: http://blog.dinkuminteractive.com) Cliff Lee shut down the Yanks. I hope your vision proves true. Frank, you’re wise for picking the Phillies.

Not because he didn't believe what he said, just recognised that as soon as you talk about the end of something, ironically you actually end up keeping it alive. Another great N quote for ya. When he went mad, he apparently whispered over and over: 'I'm dead because I'm stupid. I'm stupid, because I am dead.' Not saying those who think HR dead are stupid, but maybe the idea of a dead HR is a stupid hope? I read once Nietzsche wished he hadn’t bashed God.

It usually is some knucklehead they dealt with 5 years ago who didn't know what he was doing. There's a ton of talented people in HR...I'm lucky to know some of them. @Ron What you say about HR and stereotyping is right on…I think when people close their eyes and say “HR” they have a very limited view of that.

HR is not dead; it just comes in many colors and flavors. The HR pros who come from a business standpoint and focus on value-added functions like management and people development are making major contributions to their organizations. Others who are operating like event planners and benefit administrators are not making much of a dent. HR cannot be stereotyped. You pretty much know what software engineers, circuit designers and general accountants do. Even CEO's are not sure what we do and what we can offer. We need more than PR - we need to educate CEO's and their staff what we can really do for them and the enterprise. Frank,

HR does so many things right in most organizations that it makes sense to highlight those accomplishments. Thanks very much for mentioning the HR Happy Hour and I think we will have an excellent discussion on the show. Frank – I love the idea of the HR Annual Report.
