Premise: I read an article with the same title, written by Theodore Kinni for strategy+business (a pwc publication) and it reminded me of an blog post I had written almost a decade back about the role of leaders in absorbing pressure, to allow their teams to perform at their best.

When a colleague you dislike or who dislikes you becomes your new leader, it’s natural to feel anxiety or despair, worry about the fallout, and think about leaving.

Robots are a cornerstone of a smart factory, automating a wide range of manufacturing tasks that are monotonous, physically straining, or even hazardous. However, real-world robotics deployments have not lived up to the revolutionary potential the industrial sector had originally envisioned. Robot implementations are typically confined to specific applications, carry high costs, and are time-consuming.
