Hi, I’m Lance Haun, the new editor of TLNT. It’s not every day a person gets to come back to a place where they helped launch a publication as a contributing editor. My first post nearly a decade ago was about how teams still matter in an era of seeking “A” players. That’s still true, by the way.
Now, 300+ posts and a short, seven-year stopover at The Starr Conspiracy later, I’m back at ERE Media and excited to be covering the HR industry full-time once again. John Hollon and John Zappe have built something special here at TLNT over the last ten years and I want to continue to build on the work they’ve done.
I’m a big believer in the potential of modern HR and people practices. I’ve been in the trenches as an HR leader and practitioner and know the challenges first hand about getting there. I’ve talked to thousands of HR professionals and heard their stories over the past 15 years. TLNT wants to be the best possible resource for those embracing that ambitious future.
Here at TLNT, we will continue to double down on the areas that really matter to HR leaders building a modern workforce, including:
I want to hear from HR leaders, especially those who want to share their stories and ideas. We’re always looking for new contributors, pitches, and articles (see our editorial guidelines for more information). I’m also just happy to hear feedback about what we’re doing right and where we’re missing the mark.
