Accountability at the Center of Development
HRTechEdge covered You Are Capable of More and put it next to the question HR technology keeps running into: what happens after the learning platform is in place.
The part technology cannot supply.
HRTechEdge, an HR technology publication covering workforce platforms, talent acquisition, and AI in HR, featured You Are Capable of More in August 2026 and read it through an enterprise lens rather than a self-help one.The piece set the book's themes, accountability, resilience, habit formation, and limiting beliefs, against the state of corporate learning. It cited LinkedIn's 2025 Workplace Learning Report, where about half of learning and talent-development professionals said their executives worry employees lack the skills to execute strategy, and only about a third of organizations qualified as mature career-development programs.It also carried the survey behind the book: more than 200 respondents, 92 percent of whom said they are capable of more than they are currently achieving, with self-doubt, fear of failure, limited time, and comfort with the status quo named most often as what gets in the way.The article lands on a conclusion worth sitting with if you buy HR software for a living. Learning platforms can surface skills gaps, recommend content, map career paths, and measure completion. None of that produces ownership. A company can hold a full learning library and still watch development stall, because the missing piece is not access. It is whether people take responsibility for their own growth, and whether their managers have the time and the will to coach it.
