From the page: "We all get the point of LinkedIn…extend our networking by finding other business professionals to connect to with the hope that this will lead to more opportunity and eventually help us grow our business. Some people do this more freely then others, but regardless we all want to be able to do it more effectively. With that in mind here are 5 top LinkedIn tools and a bonus tool."

From the page: "There�s been plenty written already about surviving layoffs and dealing with colleagues that get canned. Who doesn�t have their resume ready to be deployed? In this economy, anyone can get the ax. And that includes one�s superiors.

The loss of a boss can send any unit into a state of fear and confusion. Is senior management looking to nix the entire division? Perhaps the boss wasn�t delivering and now�s the time to assert leadership and lobby for a promotion? What is the best strategy when you can�t see how the dust will settle?

Here are some tips, edited down for length, on navigating the leadership transition from the Enlightened Manager blog:

1. Be respectful of your exiting boss, as well as the company. Treat the exiting person like you would wish to be treated, whether they were a stellar boss or a nightmare. This includes being respectful of your boss when you hear others complaining about him or her.

2. Quietly take the lead where things fall apart. What you don�t want to do is step right into your bosses shoes, because people are likely to find that presumptuous or even arrogant. But you can take steps to ensure that the work is done correctly and that things don�t fall between the cracks.

3. Observe feelings and behaviors. If you are part of a larger team, it may be helpful to listen carefully to how people react to the firing. This kind of information will be valuable to your next boss, and your team will be better off if someone is paying attention to the reactions and managing appropriately.

4. Carefully communicate your interim plans. The goal here is to ensure that your company leaders know what you are doing to take care of any gaps, without sounding like you are assuming you are the chosen successor. Don�t make a big deal out of it, but do make sure others see what you are doing to keep the ship afloat.

5. Use questions to keep tabs on how things are going. Transitions are often scary, and things may get dropped or forgotten. Keep positive, and keep asking �oedo you have what you need?” and �oehow can I help?” throughout this time."
