Here\u2019s my rationale:<\/p>\n<h3>We\u2019re in new territory, and old ways of thinking need to be cast aside<\/h3>\n<p>Everything is and\/or will shift about how we structure, lead, invest, and engage our people in this world. It\u2019s an amazing time to rethink the need for, use, and impact of the manager. It\u2019s an amazing time to think differently about everything we do related to strategy, innovation, and engagement.<\/p>\n<p>A fresh jolt of morning coffee (yeah, there\u2019s the leadership caffeine tie-in) is essential for waking up and taking on the new day!<\/p>\n<h3>The old way of managing isn\u2019t working.<\/h3>\n<p>Just look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/349484\/state-of-the-global-workplace.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">engagement numbers from Gallup<\/a> every year, where at least 60-70% (or more) of your workforce is disengaged. Even if Gallup is off by half, a statistical error I imagine they would deny vehemently, collectively, we\u2019re stinking up the place on managing. I checked, and there\u2019s no way to grow and lead a successful business with your people checked out and miserable.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time for a wake-up call on how we manage. It goes further. It\u2019s about how we select, teach, coach, and support those who manage.<\/p>\n<h3>Too much wrong-headed thinking about cutting costs<\/h3>\n<p>Managers are easy targets in too many restructurings, reflecting ignorance of the role\u2019s potential positive impact. In my recent article, <a href=\"https:\/\/artpetty.com\/2026\/05\/18\/why-gutting-management-layers-is-the-wrong-response-to-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Why Gutting Management Layers is the Wrong Response to AI,<\/a> I suggest the short-sighted, easy cost-cutting ignores the real issues of engagement, leadership, and culture. I make the case for reconceiving the role, not eliminating it.\u00a0 \u201cThe delayerers (cost-cutters)ignore the need for greater organizational agility and adaptability in our uncertain world. They don\u2019t understand the changed world of strategy, and, as the carpenter left with only a hammer, they see every problem as a nail to be pounded into place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time for a wake-up call on the role of the manager.<\/p>\n<h3>The people issues are arguably more pronounced\/complex<\/h3>\n<p>I work with some of the smartest people in the world in AI and technology. They are amazing. Yet, the limiting factors in their work aren\u2019t tied to AI or technology. It\u2019s all about people and the rate of change. Growing influence, leading in the matrix, navigating organizational politics, and gaining support for their ideas are the real issues blocking their progress.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time for a wake-up call on how we approach the people issues in front of us.<\/p>\n<h3>Every problem in the workplace has communication issues at the core<\/h3>\n<p>The majority of my time with clients, both leaders and contributors, is spent on planning for or dealing with problems where communication issues are at the core. Even giving quality behavioral feedback remains as elusive as Jason\u2019s search for The Golden Fleece. Top leaders struggle to create context for all the change they are hitting their teams with. And technical experts need support in making the case for direction and investment.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time for a wake-up call on how we communicate.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p>I can keep going, but that\u2019s the long-enough answer to that great question of why I selected \u2018Wake-Up Calls\u2019 for my book title. We all need to wake up and adjust, adapt, and reinvent.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sidebar: I confess to being inspired by Henry Mintzberg\u2019s outstanding collection of essays: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bedtime-Stories-for-Managers-audiobook\/dp\/B07LFL7NDH\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2E0AM3YSGGHEO&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PFt3db1folIdP3O_UzPHnWyGF4Wp8_6W6tXFpJ-ilV30mRdhf3uIBlNRdl4XkSATIEUKhBYErdSg52AFbm-4dTYPk3zn2eVaSyWWxtyXzDzXh4JsgTd5HfYqa4g1WvogePDHrTJPRGL1-H7CzMMYwnNV9zq9gUJh9K2m7RPf7D9QNhnQorlYP7OyXRZma0sF6vmZVX9Lp9dl4Gx-10_fkBWC02fE5EAQ9R07wrk-3O8.qxHEuul73SMri6WM1ixPC8xDrVHXY4BeMQ83hpmv4Zk&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=henry+mintzberg+bedtime&amp;qid=1786978026&amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C124&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bedtime Stories for Managers: Farewell, Lofty Leadership\u2026Welcome Engaging Management<\/a> as well. I\u2019m covering another day-part and a broader field of content, but Mintzberg\u2019s collection is a great resource for us all!<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>The Bottom Line:<\/h3>\n<p>I love the Leadership Caffeine brand that has served me well for so many years. It was meant to motivate the hard work of leading and managing. Wake-Up Calls is a call to arms to think and act differently about everything we\u2019re doing in our organizations. Now that you are well caffeinated, let\u2019s get moving!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-21055\" src=\"https:\/\/artpetty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Untitled-design.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"40\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<h3><em>Shameless Promotion and an Offer<\/em><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-22980\" src=\"https:\/\/artpetty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/mock-00053-a16f4-150x150.png\" alt=\"Image of book cover: Wake Up Calls for Managers: Insights to Sharpen Focus and Elevate Results by Art Petty\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"\/><\/p>\n<p><em>I\u2019<\/em><em>m proud of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Wake-Up-Calls-Managers-Insights\/dp\/B0H4LJ593Z\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=22UPSC4CD9698&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.AEDMfZD0N2FX_mvo4s96SoWSmUK0m8jd4baUb_yyQPV63cLlm3lD2pfYQli7YyEGvt-UfA64pIJcLFY6-RxO-FTOc8pU4YJbOLIc7oEKV40efdTq-XqADXUjKkiA72xbbOJH1EDqXV6sncKRoVqisVlWKxPujoK0Bhd0TUb3E8JkZLWbtvTFHPo8umqdPqjEfRimI4llS4_Sf8kUE1ei7oWoMMvfFYqE1nZFusSklqU.PjZgP9EEE5gqgzO0OXqmJ59h0-0CDboiN8xTAvcnJTU&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=wake+up+calls+for+managers&amp;qid=1786978267&amp;sprefix=%2Caps%2C119&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wake-Up Calls.<\/a> It addresses core issues I encounter with my clients daily in a practical, action-focused format.
