Leadership from Within: Staying on Top of
Your Game
Being on top of your game can be a challenge with tough competition, conflicting priorities
and people around you who don’t always appear to be on the same team. How can you keep
inspired to be a top-notch leader both on and off the court? How can you get intentional and
master self-leadership so you can truly be an example for others? Come to this session to get
strategic about the art of self-mastery and the mindsets that matter for leaders at any level.
Unnecessary Roughness: Dealing with @*&%#$ Bosses
Have you ever heard the adage, you don’t quit your job you quit your boss? We’ve all had a
difficult boss at one time. Maybe you even have one today. In this session we’ll explore
difficult bosses - what they do, why they do it, why they don’t see things the way we do, and
learn how to manage them.

Minnesota: Over-the Year
Employment Change
www.positivelymn.com
Minnesota gained 71,490 jobs over-the-year in
July, up 2.6 percent from one year ago, a rate
exceeded only once since the recovery began. The
private sector added 55,820 jobs, up 2.4
percent. Minnesota continues to exceed the
national jobs growth rates of 1.7 percent for all
nonfarm jobs and 2.1 percent for private sector
jobs.
All but one industry sector saw positive job
growth over the year. Professional and
Business Services (16,200 jobs), Government
(15,670 jobs), Trade, Transportation and
Utilities (13,000 jobs), Leisure and Hospitality
(12,150 jobs), and Education and Health
Services (9,900 jobs) had the largest increases
in the number of jobs.
Construction (2,610 jobs), Financial Activities
(2,370 jobs), Information (1,290 jobs), Mining
and Logging (450 jobs), and Other Services
(370) also had positive over-the-year job gains.
With 450 jobs added, the Mining and Logging
sector had the largest over-the-year job growth
at 6.0 percent, followed by Leisure and Hospitality
and Professional and Business Services, both with
4.7 percent over-the-year growth. Overall,
employment growth in seven industries outpaces
their national averages.
The Manufacturing sector was the only weak spot,
with a loss of 2,540 jobs over-the-year. Job losses
were concentrated in the nondurable goods sector.
In July, Minnesotas’ seasonally adjusted
unemployment rate held steady at 5.2%.
In July 2012, the rate was 5.8%.

Diversity Update
Sex, religion, and retaliation
August 18, 2013 - by: California Employment Law Letter
http://blogs.hrhero.com/diversity/2013/08/18/sex-religion-andretaliation/?utm_source=HRHero&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=DiversityInsight
by Mark I. Schickman
I keep waiting for the day that employment discrimination claims disappear. We spend a ton of time
training employees to prevent and avoid discriminatory conduct, and the proper behavior is pretty
intuitive. So, logically, employment discrimination should have been eradicated, like polio and
smallpox.
It would be terrible for my business if discrimination cases went away because defending them is
much of what I do. But no worries―there isn’t much chance of employment discrimination
disappearing. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received about 100,000
charges in 2012, up from 75,000 in 2005. Religious discrimination is the fastest- growing category of
charges, fed by a rising fear of those who practice Islam and the misplaced view that, unlike race or
sex, a person can just change religion. The EEOC is putting extra enforcement effort into that area.
Retaliation claims have doubled since 1997, now comprising 38 percent of all EEOC charges filed.
This, too, is a matter of human nature that HR professionals must handle carefully. There are few
things more frustrating than successfully defending a discrimination claim, only to face a valid
retaliation claim because an unfairly accused supervisor has decided to take revenge―snatching
defeat from the jaws of victory.
Sex discrimination and sexual harassment is the area that gets the most preventive attention. More
than 30 percent of all EEOC charges are filed on the basis of sex. Lawsuit recoveries aside, the EEOC
reports that it collected more than $280 million in 2011 and 2012 by resolving sex discrimination
charges through its administrative process.
Sex discrimination and harassment cases run a wide gamut, and nobody is immune from them. Who
would be smarter about dealing with the issue than Yale University, right? But last year the college
had a series of sexually harassing episodes, including the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity marching to
a co-ed dormitory chanting, “No means yes; yes means anal.” Because it took insufficient action to
stop such conduct, Yale had to agree to a consent decree requiring it to do more about sexual
harassment on campus.
Similarly, you’d think Hollywood would have learned by now that sexual harassment is expensive.
But it seems the same players are getting sued again and again. I mean, which TV show is less racy
than The Price Is Right? Yet another model has sued the show!
This time, model Lanisha Cole made the mistake of going onstage without her microphone. Her irate
producer followed her into her dressing room without knocking and proceeded to reprimand
her―ignoring the fact that she was wearing only a thong while the lecture was occurring. Humiliated,
she quit the show; her claim has been settled.
8
Finally, Desperate Housewives may have ended, but the litigation against the series creator lives on. You
may recall that actress Nicollette Sheridan had complained to ABC-TV that she was struck in the head by
the show’s producer, Marc Cherry; soon after, her character, Edie Britt, was killed―an action she claimed
was retaliatory. The case went to trial, and eight of the 12 jurors found in her favor―one short of the nine
votes she needed for a verdict. A variety of posttrial motions and appeals occurred, and bottom line, her
retaliation claim is set to return to trial in December. I hope I get to see it on pay-per- view.
Discrimination and retaliation cases come in all shapes and sizes. When you analyze your liability, there
are legal technicalities and procedural issues to consider. But the fundamental question is almost always
“How will this look in front of a jury?” Will a jury approve of a manager reprimanding an employee while
she’s wearing nothing but skimpy underwear and is too shocked to do anything but freeze in place? Will a
jury approve of firing an employee right after she complained that you struck her in the workplace?
If those questions were asked on a quiz show, I’ll bet every contestant would get them right. Our job is to
ask ourselves the same questions before we take action we may live to regret later.
Think first, take action later―a simple motto to live by.
