Ch-ch-ch-changes


The organization I work for has been stable for several years.  What I mean by stable is major initiatives started and completed and no major change in leadership.

All this lulled me into a false sense of security.  Yes, I know that I've broken the cardinal rule of employment.  I had grown comfortable in the status quo.

Not to fear, the familiar feeling of being unbalanced and striving to keep all things in sync has once more begun to consume my life.

I am unamused with the person who cursed me with "May you live in interesting times."  When I find them?  I'll never tell.

Transformation

Admin Gal has an observation:

Transformation for the sake of transforming is never as productive as actual constructive change. (circular thinking at its best)

What brings Admin Gal to this startling conclusion?  Yet another round of change in the work place.  There is nothing wrong with change, it's what keeps things moving along.  Yes, stagnation is bad.

HOWEVER, a purpose and obvious goal would be nice for us poor minions.

Unique Patterns

The work environment is an ever changing kaleidoscope with shards of glittering glass mixed in with ordinary objects to create one-of-a-kind experiences.  Each twist of the prism brings a different vision, a different perspective.

Sometimes, this creates a rich, robust atmosphere where people can truly offer the best of themselves. Sometimes, it creates growth opportunities.  Sometimes, this creates a clear vision of the changes that must happen to make the organization stronger.
Then there is the daily routine which grinds all that amazing sparkling fabulous stuff into dust. Where your best can be looked as threatening to the over all good, because you are standing out from the over all mediocrity.

I'm tired of being forced to live to the standards of mediocrity that are posing as perfection.  I stand against the forces that force people to conform.

I propose a revolutionary idea.  The idea is simple.  Take a journey of discovery.  Own your talents and utilize them to the utmost.  Don't be afraid of what makes you a spectacular person.

Own the shards and pieces that create the amazing kaleidescope of your personal and professional life.  If you can't create the pattern that makes you unique where you are, then perhaps you aren't in the right place.
