We all know that robots do an amazing job of delivering in line with what they have been programmed to do.
They never do any more or any less than their program.
The emerging issue with many companies is that not only are they introducing robotics to their operation, but they have created a workforce of human robots.
They have created a culture where people are no longer invited to contribute or share ideas and, in many instances, are shut down by old fashioned managers who feel threatened by the up and coming smarter and younger generations who have fresh dynamic ideas.
In essence, they have created a culture of human robots. The people do as they are told and nothing more or nothing less. People feel undervalued, and that their opinions do not count so they have taken the approach of doing what they are told to do, and they stop all thinking.
They may see things that could change but just like a robot, they do as they have been programmed to do through poor management practices.
This is an easy fix when a focused leadership approach to collaboration is embedded into the workplace, and a culture of engagement dominates across all levels of the company.
