NFL’s return to work spells disaster for improvement initiatives

July 26, 2011

Thanks to a new Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NFL and its Players Union, we can all rest comfortably knowing that American-style football will return to the gridiron this Autumn. That spells disaster for managers in any workplace looking to take advantage of the lockout and push through some difficult initiatives. Clearly, all those out-of-work athletes could have been put to much better use this Fall. Most are college-educated individuals, with passion and commitment, and a demonstrated ability to function as part of a team while driving others to do the same.

We’ve seen this coming for a long time, and now it’s finally time to get some things out into the open.
