Welcome to Acute Businessitis. In this blog I encourage you to leave comments and help enrich the conversation by adding in your own experiences. I will do my best to post a relevant management topic each week, including guest bloggers who may want to contribute or co-write.
A little about me
My name is Adam Romano. With a Bachelor of Management and 10 years of progressive experience, I've managed continuing education portfolios with SAIT Polytechnic, lead as a Campus Director for CDI College, and currently act as a contact Training & Development Specialist for TransCanada Pipelines. I have taught online courses for SAIT for the last 6 years, assisted and lead development of new curriculum, and even had the chance to teach a class in Yellowknife (another story, another day).
In the years I've worked in these roles, I've gained a fantastic view of society from an education perspective, andhave now translated this to the energy sector in Alberta. What I realized in my transition from the public to private, education to corporate environment, is that passionate people are everywhere, and when find a way to tap into their passion (regardless if the task at hand is completely related) you will increase retention, productivity, discretionary effort, and the number of employees who bring you cookies at work. Building on peoples strengths and passion (ok, I'll try to use that word less..) is the key to a happy, sustainable human capital strategy.
Welcome to Acute Businesitis, I hope you enjoy the topics
