The Problem Isn't the Job, It's the Management
Imad Lodhi's article argues that employee dissatisfaction often stems from poor management, not the job itself. He contends that internal job changes rarely solve the problem because systemic management issues persist. Lodhi proposes solutions such as management training, feedback systems, and accountability for poor leadership to improve workplace culture and retain talent. The other articles explore related themes, such as the detrimental effects of prioritizing high-performing employees at the expense of organizational health ("Toxic Gold") and the challenges faced by insecure managers ("The Struggling Manager's Dilemma"). Finally, one piece discusses the misconception that digital transformation is solely about technology, highlighting the need for a broader operational rethink.
