The History of Labor Day and Its Leadership Significance<\/h2>\n

Did you know the first Labor Day in the United States was observed on September 5, 1882 in New York City,\u00a0and became a federal holiday in 1894?<\/p>\n

Labor Day is dedicated to the achievements of workers that made, and make, the United States strong and prosperous.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re relatively certain that many that celebrate Labor Day are unaware of how, when, and why it became a national holiday (it\u2019s really an international holiday with some variances on the day of celebration).<\/p>\n

Sadly, the holiday came about because of conflicts (and even deaths) during labor strikes. Many believe President Grover Cleveland was instrumental in the creation of the holiday in order to improve labor relations, and as a way to pay tribute to the American worker who supplied the country with strength, freedom, and leadership.<\/p>\n

\n

The labor movement and the American workplace\u00a0has come a long way since 1882, but strong leadership and the ability to inspire others and\u00a0obtain results continue to be key drivers for all businesses and organizations.<\/p>\n

Labor Day is not just celebrated in the United States; it\u2019s an international holiday recognized around the globe, with some variances on the day of celebration.<\/p>\n

Reflect on your leadership contributions. How could you be even more\u00a0influential?\u00a0What could you change to become\u00a0even more successful?<\/p>\n

Enjoy the holiday!<\/p>\n

Coaching Has Evolved<\/h3>\n

Once seen as the last step for an executive about to fall off the ladder, leadership coaches now help smooth a promotion, teach outsiders about their new culture, and tune up talent.<\/p>\n

A coach is like a personal trainer for business.
