Chances are high that the following question has already crossed your screen: „Are you happy?“
If you’ve noticed it, chances are even higher that you got the following instruction (if you admitted room for improvement to yourself): „Change something.“
Now here comes the tricky part. Even though it’s an attitude I embrace on a day-to-day basis, I still find myself in situations I don’t necessarily like.
A used to be standard case at work: we committed to a project based on incomplete information, but we had to finish it in order to not harm ourselves i.e. our reliability.
But it changed. Not radically fast – but radically.
Here’s why: even though we sometimes have to compromise on what we do, we never compromise on how we approach and do things – and this is consequently reflected in the solutions we deliver. Clients realized it – and projects changed in our favor.
This really is a long-term observation so it’s worth a try:
Change the choices you get – by the choices you offer.
