The Role of the Business Analyst
In a recent post, I mentioned that the business analyst role is
expected to be in high demand in 2010. For those of you unfamiliar
with what a business analyst does, here's a summary: business
analysts analyze the organization's business model to determine how
it integrates with technology. The idea is to figure out the
organization's business needs or objectives, and then improve the
effectiveness of IT in meeting those needs/objectives. If one of
your New Year's resolutions is to change careers, the business
analyst role might be one worth looking into. The requirements for
this role vary, so check out my article on how to become a business
analyst if you want to find out more about how you can transition

How to Fire an Employee
Firing an employee is stressful for all parties - not just for the
employee losing a job. No matter how well you've communicated about
performance problems with the employee, almost no one believes that

they won't get fired: they think that you like them; they think you

Managing the Tough Stuff
Employees are not always perfect. Sometimes, they mess up, fail to
show up, miss deadlines and commitments, trample expectations,
sport messy work areas, and behave inappropriately with coworkers.
I have witnessed screaming matches in the middle of work areas;
I've had employees purposefully fail at their jobs, in order to be
fired. Others have presented false documentation about funerals,
lied on their applications, and abused intermittent FMLA time. All
of these situations, and many more not mentioned, require difficult
conversations.
You can become effective at holding difficult conversations.
Practice in a variety of situations, and these steps, will help you
build your comfort level to hold diff...
