Today was my grading day all day, which means that I did not have enough time to follow any news or stories. But, Chan Ho Park, who was once a great pitcher of Major League Baseball and has been my hero, signed the contract with Hanhwa Eagles. And, I think he sent a message to me as well as many people in Korea.
Sports
The Eagles initially planned to sign him on a 400 million won ($342,000) deal with an option of another 200 million won, but announced plans to donate the money to help nurture amateur baseball, in keeping with Park’s wishes.
I think this is what many organizations and celebrities in Korea need to take as a role model.
Social Media
- Three social media predictions for 2012 written by @jeffespo and twitted by @chrisborgan
I agree with his predictions: 1) Measurement is King, 2) institutionalization, and 3) consolidation such as Facebook vs. Google
I kind of want to add one more thing. There will be lots of social media activities related with social responsibility.

I am already addicted to Spotify. This is the change I like the most among all changes that Facebook has made.
Public Relations
- 6 questions for rekindling employee engagement written by @MarkRaganCEO digesting another blog post, Re-recruitment and Re-engagement, written by Stephen Gill, HR consultant.
Only 52 percent of workers say they “feel valued on the job.”
This quote reminded me one TED presentation, the power of vulnerability, presented by Brene Brown, research professor at the University of Houston. It is really important to communicate well with employees.
OK. Not much, but, please feel free to give me any comments!!
