Sit back, relax and read some interesting stuff. It's the weekend, after all. Here are some articles you might have missed in the rush of the week. I'm pointing you to articles about neuroleadership, leadership brands, jobs for professionals working from home, litigation as usual, and hiring employees get along with others.

From CIO: It's all in the mind
"Neuroleadership has entered the vocabulary faster than you can say brain wave. But is it a fad or a new way forward?"

From Portfolio: Building a Leadership Brand
"How to grow the best leaders? Make sure they live and breathe your company’s brand."

From the Wall Street Journal: Good News for Professionals Who Want to Work at Home
"A growing number of employers, from UnitedHealth Group and Safeco to Capgemini, IBM, American Express and Sun Microsystems, are hiring skilled new employees to telecommute right from the start. These aren't the piecework, independent-contractor gigs or commission-only sales jobs that have characterized at-home "employment" in the past. They are full-time corporate jobs with benefits, available without the prerequisite of working for the company for a few years first. Before you rush to your email or phone to ask how to snag one of these jobs -- read on. These new work-at-home opportunities number only in the thousands, a speck on a vast U.S. labor-force landscape of 150 million workers. Landing one often requires a serendipitous confluence of sought-after skills, experience, personal attributes and timing, along with a measure of luck."

Wally's Comment: I didn't include this article because I thought a bunch of you need a job. I included it because it's a look at one way our "workplace" is changing.

From the New York Times: Forget Fair; It’s Litigation as Usual
"They had the kits ready to go. The “trial package,” they called it. Then again, as we mass tort aficionados know only too well, the plaintiffs’ bar always develops a trial kit when a mass tort gets to a certain point; it’s one of the weapons trial lawyers use to put pressure on the company they are attacking.

From the Dallas Morning News: Wanted: Employees who play well with others
"Despite a labor shortage in many sectors, some employers are pickier than ever about whom they hire. Businesses in fields where jobs are highly coveted – or just sound like fun – are stepping up efforts to weed out people who might have the right credentials but the wrong personality."
