At some point, everyone needs to decide who and what they want to be. Some let it ride, but you may want to be more actively involved in deciding the outcome.
· Consider your skills
· And add in your interests.
· Leverage your experiences
· And the things you like doing.
· Be yourself and not anybody else.
But there often is pressure to conform – what you wear, how you think, the way you act, and the roles you play; corporate cultures can have that effect on people. But many of the leaders I know want people who think for themselves, aren’t afraid to take risks, and like being their individual selves. Against this dichotomy, businesses today are facing unique challenges that seemingly defy formerly successful solutions. Like finding employees – ads and job boards are coming up short and new sources of applicants are needed. Or recognizing employee needs – emotional intelligence and servant leadership skills are needed. Or treating today’s workers like individuals – build flexibility into your policies and practices. Workers today want the freedom to be themselves while also being part of a team – recognize them for their contributions while promoting group behavior. Be open to solutions that address the unique interests of each of your employees today.
