In your manufacturing facility, you likely have areas—such as receiving, production, and shipping—that are off-limits for certain personnel and visitors. Depending on what you produce, you may also have clean rooms, climate-controlled areas, or storage for hazardous materials. What’s more, many manufacturing facilities contain industrial equipment that could be dangerous to those who don’t know how to operate it.

If someone asked a bunch of office workers about what they find to be the biggest impediment of productivity, many, if not most, will probably say meetings. Calendars now look like Tetris boards with meetings overlapping one another with no open spaces anywhere to be seen. In the name of “collaboration,” meetings have proliferated. But somehow the more meetings we have, the harder it seems to get the work done.

Not all who have professional titles live up to the characteristics of the “ideal” professional. We can invite professionals to engage, encourage them to align themselves with the needs of the organization and support them as colleagues along the way. But each professional must make that choice themselves. In every organization, over time you will meet folks who I refer to as the cynics, apathetics, and naysayers.

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris agree on one thing, at least: Both say they want to eliminate federal taxes on workers’ tips. But experts say there’s a reason Congress hasn’t made such a change already. It would be complicated, not to mention enormously costly to the federal government, to enact. It would encourage many higher-paid workers to restructure their compensation to classify some of it as “tips” and thereby avoid taxes.
