1. In Cappelli's article "Your Approach to Hiring is all Wrong," he asserts that one strategy to consider is a return to hiring from within (i.e., promotions). What advantages and disadvantages do you foresee if companies use this approach?

2. Knight's article about reducing bias in hiring recommends that you "consider likeability" if it matters to you. Think about an interviewer whose input helps determine employee selection. Do you think allocating candidates a likeability score will make the likeability bias more controllable or do you think rating candidates on likeability will make the hiring process more biased? Explain.

3. A course that is a part of formal education resulting in a degree from a reputable institution is quite extensive and covers a great deal of material in the curriculum, some of which you may not need immediately. However, organizational training, according to Glaveski, should apply what he calls "lean learning." Where do you think the difference lies between University learning and company learning (or do you think there should be a difference)? Explain.

4. The text differentiates between training and development. Rogers, in her article discussing "a better way to develop and retain top talent," asserts that the most impactful development happens not through formal programs, but smaller moments that occur within the workplace. Do you agree? Explain.

5. Any additional comments. Based on these chapters and their associated additional readings, here you have the autonomy to raise any points you may have made in a face to face class (e.g., something that resonated with you because you experienced it, something that resonated with you because you read/heard a news story, something you wholeheartedly agree with and why, something you disagree with and why etc.).
