What can history teach us about leading through technological change?
In a recent Michigan Today article, Jeffery Sanchez-Burks, Michigan Ross professor and Sanger Leadership Center Research Lab member, explores why organizations often focus on new technologies while overlooking the people, relationships, and workplace dynamics that ultimately determine whether change succeeds.
Drawing on lessons from past industrial revolutions, Sanchez-Burks encourages leaders to invest in people alongside innovation. His insights offer a timely reminder that successful organizational change depends not only on adopting new tools but also on helping individuals adapt, collaborate, and thrive.
