The Blindness Of Today's Leaders In The Meaning Of Labor Day

Why It May Cause Significantly More Problems For Leaders In The Future

Today in the States is Labor Day.

It is a Federal Holiday, that many people have off, which Recognizes...

The American Labor Movement...

And the Works and Contributions of Laborers to the Development and Achievements in the United States.

Essentially...

Workers Understood that "They" were what Kept Companies Afloat and Growing...

Not the Leaders by themselves.

Without the Workers...

The Businesses would Struggle.

But...

Workers were Treated Terribly.

When Workers decided that this was Not Right...

They Banded together, and Fought for their Rights...

Pushed Leaders to Change the Workplace through Governmental Means...

Dramatically Decreased the Wage Gaps...

Got Better Working Conditions...

And Gained Recognition for their Contributions.

The Result?

A Golden Age of Business, Industry, and Innovation.

When Employees Lived Better...

They Contributed Better...

And Employees, Leaders, and Businesses Thrived Together.

This is what is Celebrated on Labor Day.

But...

In Today's World, Most Leaders are Completely Blind to this Reality...

And if they are Not Careful...

They will Pay a Heavy Price.

How Do I Know that Leaders are Blind to this Reality?

The Conditions of the Workforce Today have Become Terrible Again...

But in a Different Way.

Burnout is Today's Workplace Reality.

Over 80% of the Workforce is in Various Stages of Burnout...

Including Incidents of Death from Burnout.

Yes, "Literal" Death, according to Medical Cause of Death...

In Individuals as Young as their 20's.

With the Rise in Burnout...

There have been Dramatic Decreases in Innovation and Productivity...

With Our Productivity Potential Dropping to a Maximum of 5% in Burnout, according to the Research...

And with the Rise of Group Burnout...

Where Burnout is Caused and Spread from Individual to Individual through Neurocardiological Means...

Many Organizations are further Seeing Negative Results in their Productivity...

There is also a Dramatic Rise in Mental Health Problems and Costs for Businesses...

Much of which is Caused by the Workplace...

And with this all...

The Wage Gaps have Increased to where they were When the Labor Movements Began.

What Does This All Mean?

Leaders have Killed the Golden Age of Business, Industry, and Innovation.

They have Lost the True Meaning and Lessons from this Holiday...

They are Treating this Holiday as if it were something "In the Past" with No Relevance to Today...

Which is a Horrible Mistake.

Why?

If these Trends Do Not Change...

We will See History Repeat Itself.

In Fact...

It is Already Happening.

Unionization of Workers is on the Rise.

More Workers are Striking and Demanding More.

Leaders are Losing their Power in Commanding the Workforce...

As We have Seen with the Failed Return to Office "Mandates", where 10% of Organizations have Made "Demands"...

But Offices have only Filled back Up by around 2%...

And Many of the Organizations that have Made "Demands" Make Up a Significantly Larger Percentage of the Total Employees within the Workforce.

With All of this...

Employees are Becoming More Active in Seeking the Government to Push Leaders into Improving the Workforce.

The Reality is that Leaders have Fallen So Far Away from the Meaning of Labor Day...

Not Only have they Killed the Golden Age of Business and Innovation...

But they are Driving the Workforce into a Second Age of Major Labor Movements.

Leaders are Being Called Out for Creating the Rot Economy and Zombie Businesses.

They are Being Called Techno-Tyrants and Business Dictators.

This Will Continue Unless Leaders Become Wise to the Reality.

Their Power has Come From, and Will Always Come From, the Power of their Workforce.

If Leaders Fail to Recognize this Reality...

Their Workforce will Rise Up...

The Workforce will Overthrow Them...

And the Workforce Will Force Leaders to their Demands...

Which will Not End Well for Today's Leaders.

It is Time for Leaders to Open their Eyes...

Before it's Too Late.
