Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

Organizations strive for growth or progress, but are they accepting of the change that comes with it?

Let’s assume that growth is good for an organization. If you don’t like growth, think of another word that would mean good things for an organization, e.g., progress, innovation, creativity, etc. and substitute your word every time you see “growth.”
When growth comes, change comes. New people arrive. New work arrives. New money arrives. These “new” things mean change.

Do you want change? Think before answering. Change in the organization means that you will have to change what you do every day at work. Do you want that?

Perfect world: the organization can grow and change and I won’t have to change.

If you find that perfect world, tell me where it is so I can join you there. Otherwise, be ready for the change.
