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.

Some people ignore those in need, others don’t do things until asked, and in the business world, customer issues go unresolved, every day, simply because people say, “It’s not my job.”.
