'Interview' really gets Guru's goat

May 3, 2007

Guru looks forward to opening his post every other Thursday when his fortnightly copy of membership magazine People Management drops though his letterbox.

Any thoughts of how tough life is are immediately dispelled when Guru flicks through the magazine's pages and thanks his lucky stars he is not in their employ.

This issue (featuring yet another man in a suit on the front cover) runs an interview with soon-to-be departed CIPD director-general Geoff Armstrong. Guru uses the word 'interview' loosely, as the piece reads more like a self-penned valedictory.

The notoriously deep-pocketed Mr Armstrong talks in depth about his reign at the institute, his successes, the world of HR and his vision of the future.

Guru doesn't want to spoil this surely award winning article for readers, so advises CIPD members to view it for themselves.

That way you can decide for yourselves whether the man is worth all the money he is being paid, mostly funded by your annual membership fees.

Rick:

I read that as "soon-to-be-deported" when I first saw it.

After reading your post, it sounds like you might be in favour of such a move.

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
