"I set the goals for my team and they will perform perfectly." And we are frequently disappointed — we don’t get the interview, clients don’t bang on our doors, and our employees are watching cute dog videos instead of working.

Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees. What these engagement programs actually do is create and reinforce feelings of victim-hood and leave employees unprepared to adapt to real changes that are necessary for the health and profitability of their enterprises.

New research from Columbia Business School highlights how middle managers are especially likely to treat those below them as they themselves are treated. This is especially so when those middle managers suffer from a loss of power and therefore feel like they lack control over valuable resources.
