I have been out of the office for the past 10 days and had an opportunity to attend the Kiwanis International Convention in Las Vegas. It is always exciting to attend this convention as I get a chance to see old friends and make new friends from all over the world. It was a great opportunity to put into practice the Platinum Rule. Many of the organization leaders are directors and are only interested in the bottom line while many of our peers are relaters and socializers so it was important to be a good listener. Nonetheless, it was a great convention and a great Kiwanis pick me up.

The fourth practice to avoid is Social Media Thought Police. It's reasonable to block Youtube ( GOOG ) in the office because of the bandwidth it consumes. The recent e-mail message I received from a worker who'd just been informed of her employer's "no LinkedIn profiles permitted" policy sets a new low for organizational paranoia. Memo to your general counsel: Human beings work in your business. People have lives, brands, and connections beyond your walls, and those human entanglements are more likely to help your business than to hurt it. What to do instead: Treat people like babies only if you want them to act like babies. Let the rest of them update their LinkedIn , Facebook , and Twitter accounts appropriately, and if they're not getting their work done, deal with that problem on its own.
