How often have all of us heard the words be yourself and everything will work out. Something frequently stops us from being ourselves on jobs. What is it?
I have theory. So many of us have to move for jobs so we take out long term leases. So many of us move for jobs that we end up isolated in a community where our company doubles as both a source of friends and a source of income.
That leaves all too many us trembling whenever speaking out could result in a loss of a job. Minds race ahead vividly imagining what it would be like to be unemployed, isolated and unwanted. Eyes end up tilted downwards. Hands go down. Words end up uttered hurriedly in whispers. FEAR IS CATCHING AND IT RESONATES.
Companies and team suffer because of fear. The sad truth is that to be successful on a job someone has to show the courage to risk losing one.
