π’ PSA: TIME TO CUT THE BS ππ©
I've seen enough. After thousands of conversations in safe spaces, my consensus is well and truly in.
People aren't happy at work.
No workplace culutre reaches perfection. Things will always flow and evolve. But broadly, people don't feel how they want to feel at work, and many are just going through the motions.
Industry aside, there are only a few diamonds amongst the rough, but most businesses?
Their culture is pretty stuffed.
They are full of performative initiatives, hollow value structures, compliance driven box ticking exercises, and fractured connections.
That's being kind and gentle about it. I know there are still many legends striving for change, and the majority are craving it.
I'm also a realist. It's not lost on me that workplaces must be profitable to pay for the very people that make it up and humans? we vary in values, ethics, personality, lived experiences (and much more). So it makes total sense of workplaces end up prioritizing operational needs, over people.
There will always be conflict and challenges, and we'll always have diversity in outcomes.
People are unpredictable, difficult,and complex. Messy human stuff.
I'm a fatal optimist, and have I faith in humans.
And the people are fed up.
They tell me, whether outloud or by their attitudes, behavior,and they way they carry themselves.
The people want better leadership. People and culture that creates cohesion, connection, belonging. To even have some fun. To feel a part of something, not a number. Something majority of workplaces are missing the mark with.
I've also seen change.
Leaders with authenticity, heart, and grit. Change makers and opinion leaders who inspire loyalty, retention, and funny that.. in return,they get productivity and performance as a result.
We are not going to be for everyone.
Just the bold, courageous, and people who want to share our vision of transformation.
It's time for major disruption, and it's going to p**s a lot of people off ππ₯
Will you come along for the journey with us?
Let me know if you're keen. Drop a βοΈ emoji of you're with me!
