I will be taking a little time off over the next month or so to spend some time relaxing, some time thinking and some time writing. Most of all, I want to spend some time developing new strategies to help you build better workplaces. I will return here in August.
Meanwhile, for our Canadian readers, Happy Canada Day on Friday (July 1). For our American readers, Happy Fourth of July on Monday.
Be safe, be courteous and continue to make building a better workplace a priority in your respective workplace.

The truth is, I am on the side of middle managers. I want them to get better.

Do you think Tiger gets one golf lesson each year? How about Kobe or Sidney Crosby? You say you run a "professional" organization but do you really?
