This separation makes the reporting process cumbersome for organizations. It also creates data latency that prevents them from using the most up-to-date data for running scenarios, making decisions and planning.

Are you one of those bosses who feels their employees should simply be happy to have a job at all? Unfortunately, some supervisors really do feel this way, particularly when the job market is tight.

Every company, regardless of size or industry, is feeling the pressure to upgrade its technology in order to stay competitive. But even after successful deployment, some new tools don’t live up to the buzz. This is because often, when new systems are introduced, companies do not focus on employee adoption. People accustomed to using specific tools and following certain procedures tend to be resistant to new methods.

Taking the lead of an existing team can be a daunting task for managers, experienced or new. If you’re replacing a poor leader, you can inherit negative emotions and operational issues. On the flip side, if you’re filling the shoes of a popular manager, it might seem that the odds are stacked against you to become the team’s next great leader. Many managers skip over the basics of team building in a rush to start achieving goals immediately when they step into a new team.

You shouldn’t give feedback unless you want to change someone’s life. That’s an audacious goal, and it’s probably unattainable. But feedback is tough. Not everybody is meant to deliver messages.
