As the workforce rapidly expands to include the next generation of employees that grew up in an on-demand culture and a communicative environment filled less with penned letters and more with acronyms such as IMHO (in my humble opinion), TBH (to be honest), and BTW (by the way), the workplace must adapt, pivot and recognize that the concept of management must change.
IMHO, the word “management” should be cancelled. TBH, it has reached its expiration date. BTW, that does not mean that there should not be leadership and guidance in the workforce— there absolutely should be. However, the days of calling an employee or emailing them and saying “management wants to see you” must end in order for a company to be relatable, encourage productivity, and build long lasting cultural capital.
