Technology is a wonderful thing. It’s amazing what we can do today using technology. That being said, technology can also create challenges. And I’m not talking about whether our technology works or not (although that can be a problem). There’s research that indicates our use of technology can have a negative impact on our wellbeing. I recently shared with you Dan Schawbel’s new book “Back to Human”, where he talks about technology creating workplace loneliness.

For years, leaders in the HR/Management space, academics, and top business minds have all sought to define organizational culture. They have largely failed. This is, of course, no easy task. Culture is nebulous, something that we feel but just can’t put a name to. It’s like the immortal soul.
