We live in a world that’s inevitably changing. Each day that goes by isn’t the same as the day before. You may believe your days go with zero change with the routine of waking up, getting to work, going back home to sleep only to repeat it the next day after. It may seem like there’s no change, but they’re subtler than you think. Think about it, do you really eat the same breakfast each day? Do you really work on the same report every day for 365 days? In this modern world where we expect and thrive on exciting new work each day, it’s hard to believe that there’s no change.

Everyone is busy. We’re all so busy. Walk around the floor at your company, and that word is bandied about with fervor. People speak in awe and respect about how “busy” someone is. It’s a mark of distinction. Employees click away, race around from meeting to meeting, making multiple demands on their time and energy. Yes, we are very busy, indeed. But are we productive? That’s what you want.

A reader writes: I’m in upper management at a growing company. Until two years ago, each executive had the HR responsibilities for their own department. But we became large enough to merit a full-time HR manager. We found someone with decades of experience, but she had moved jobs every two years. At first, we were all thrilled with her. But it quickly became clear why she never lasted very long! She is a compulsive liar and retaliates viciously against anyone who challenges her. She talks to the staff like they are children and can be incredibly insulting. Let me give you some examples.
