According to global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company, over 70 percent of change management efforts fail. No surprise, this is due to several reasons: low employee engagement, lack of management support, poor collaboration, and no accountability.

In the U.S., this weekend is the Labor Day holiday. It’s a holiday to celebrate the American worker. I’m sure there are many other countries that celebrate their employees throughout the year. It totally makes sense to recognize the thing that makes your organization unique – people. People also make your organization productive. So, I thought for this Labor Day weekend, I would round up a series of posts on a topic that people just can’t live without these days – technology.

When leaders have too much edge, people fear them.
