Are Managers Lying To Us?
I recently spoke at a conference in Pittsburgh, and while waiting for my flight I started thinking about some recent conversations I’ve had with managers and executives at various organizations. Many of these leaders have stated how much they care about driving change, employee engagement, diversity and modernization in the workplace. However, when we look at many organizations, we see that oftentimes the exact opposite is true; employees are not engaged, work spaces are not modern, there is no diversity and the organization struggles to change at a snail’s pace. So how can these leaders and executives say they care about these things when these things are still prevalent? How can we bridge the gap between what companies want to do, and what they can do?
