A common thread throughout my career has been, “Can we do X with Tech?”
Surprisingly, even from a nerd like me, the answer is often, “Why!?”.
Sometimes it’s just not possible, no we can’t make interactive holograms yet folks, sorry.
But usually, it’s just. . not the best way to handle a problem.
Had a question earlier, “Can we block WiFi in the bathrooms?”
Commentary on what folks want to do in the restroom should be THEIR business aside — what purpose would that serve?
Look I get it, I’m a Manager and a Father — there’s times when you really just want to take the toys away.
But it accomplishes nothing on its own.
If I block a webpage, folks will either pull it up on their phone or find a different webpage — endless game of whack a mole.
Tech is not a replacement for discipline and fostering accountability.
Talk to your people, lead by example, be a boss.
