“Out in Atlanta, GA, Christina Lee and Michael Saba have been receiving a lot of knocks on their door for the past 11 months. These visitors all have one thing in common: they’re looking for their lost/stolen smartphone. At least 12 visitors have shown up at the couple’s Atlanta home, many with police officers, looking for their missing devices. The problem is that those lost iPhones and Android devices are not with Christina or Michael, meaning those device-location tools are wrong.”

Oh man, that must suck.I guess if your “find my iPhone” results point to a house in Atlanta, don’t count on it, eh?

A gap doesn’t get created overnight, and it won’t get fixed overnight. Even if it did, a few days later you’ll have another gap. The world changes every day. Don’t assume your people can change with it without any assistance from you.

I’ve talked before about the things that show up on procedural TV shows (I’m looking at you CSI) that simply aren’t possible in the real world.

Linked – Managers not trained to spot mental health issues

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

Just 17 percent of UK managers feel “very confident” in ability to support colleagues experiencing mental health issues. A shocking proportion of managers in the UK workforce have never received training to equip them with the skills needed to spot mental…
