When you ask people what they’d like more of, the answer is inevitably “more time.” We want more time to get our work done and not feel pressured all the time. There’s also the old adage that great leaders should train their replacement. Both of these areas feel wonderful except for one thing .  .  . We don’t give our work to others (at least willingly.) We hold onto every piece of work that we can and then complain that we don’t have enough time. Seems incongruent, don’t you think?

This is worth tackling and discussing. So, the topic for the June HR Roundtable is - “The Challenge of Truly Delegating.”

We’ll get together on Tuesday, 6/3/25 from 8:30am to 9:30am at Scarlet Oaks. (Directions are below with an updated link to the map.) We will meet in the Annex (right next to the cafeteria).

To make sure I practice what I preach, I am delegating the responsibility of RSVP’ing to the Roundtable up to you. Please take this opportunity to send me an email at: sbrowne@larosas.com, and let me know if you plan to join us in June. I hope you can !!

Thanks – Steve

Instructions for the HR Roundtable at Scarlet Oaks:

• The HR Roundtable is open to one and all !!  The meeting has an HR/Business focus each month, and we get together to discuss that topic as well as network.  So, if you’re in HR, are a small business owner, are a resource partner who works with HR folks, a professional in transition, etc. – you are welcome to attend the Roundtable !!

• The “dress” for the Roundtable is business casual. We’re not very formal, and you’ll be fine however you dress. It’s more important to have you come and attend the forum.

• Please come in and sign in for the Roundtable.  Note that if you go to any other Great Oaks door, you’ll be asked to have a picture ID, and you will receive a Visitors badge as part of their security system.

• Chances are, I’ll be outside to greet you and welcome you to the Roundtable so you can find the right door to come and join the forum.

• If you’re someone in transition, feel free to bring five (5) copies of your resume to put out at our Resume Table. Make sure to staple them if you have multiple pages.
