Indelibility
T
I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently because of my just-ended job search. Getting a job with a disenfrachising culture-setter would be placing myself in a continually worsening situation. So: here’s what to consider. We all have some degree of leadership/culture-setting influence on others; what culture is being set by the persona you wear around others? If you’re looking for a job, consider what you’re getting yourself into. If you have a bad impression but assume that things will get better as time goes by, your thinking is most likely flawed. Attitudes, as any parent knows, run deep and take a great deal of work to change. What’s Next: I’d like to follow through on my idea of “paradox posts.” Keep your eyes peeled…
So what exactly is the nature of your new job? And what are your prospects of impacting your lackluster (I’m guessing) environment?
You said:
Those who are put into positions of leadership have the powerful ability to set attitude trends that will profoundly affect every aspect of the space they are responsible for.
Yikes. I agree with this–perhaps too much. Because the space that is my class room often reflects my inadequatecy.
The nature of my new job is corporate coordinating. I inhabit a skyscraper. I sit in a large cube in front of a dreary computer and put things in their right place. It’s not that bad–decent amount of interaction; and lackluster places are always bursting with passive potential.
Squirrley: So glad you’ve commented on my blog so I know that you still exist! Your last post on your previous blog had me saying “she can’t stop blogging” (as in I didn’t think it would actually be possible for you to stop). Glad to find that I was/am right.
