Two forces powerfully at work in global markets also work within each workplace, so that an urgency exists for a human response. People line up on either side of these two divides, creating a sort of mental tug-a-war between courage and fear. It's also combat between seritonin and cortisol.
On one side you'll find progressive innovators and on the other side, victims vent. Two polar ends remain at odds, in that innovators stand courageously and take new risks, while victims create anxiety and spread victimhood within their words. Have you heard it lately?
Victims tell how some pollute the planet. Innovators seek sustainability plans.
Victims describe poorly met health needs. Innovators seek healthcare change.
Victims dwell on who caused market to crash. Innovators re-invest for growth.
Victims see dollars wasted on schools. Innovators renew with brains in mind.
Not that challenges or current crisis come without personal cost, or are taken lightly by those who lead with solutions.
It's just that innovators are busy planning for a brainpower boom! A surefire win that surfaces in many innovator's solution based response to crisis.
What side of this divide are you standing? It's important to note and name your side, since one end's for victims and the other's for victorious, so they'll lead in opposite directions.
What do you think?
You make the case to be the actor vs the acted upon. Or a rolling stone gathers no cortisol:)
