It&#8217;s a win for everyone when you find the kind of organization in which your talents can flourish.
But we live in a working-world filled with changes:
1. A CEO may decide it&#8217;s more profitable to become a manufacturing-focused company than a sales &#38; marketing-driven organization.
2. Mergers and acquisitions create new cultures. New cultures lead to new [...]]]></description>

When you introduce a &#8220;new thing,&#8221; you are at the end of your thought process (which may have begun months ago)..
 Everyone else is at the beginning. They can&#8217;t get where you are without you sharing your full process including your own apprehensions.
Isn&#8217;t that what you need in order to commit to someone else&#8217;s idea?

Norms are rules that a group uses to define its appropriate and inappropriate values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors. The catch: Those rules may be explicit or implicit. And those unspoken norms will bite you every time if you don&#8217;t find out what they are.
Norms are so important that a failure to stick to the rules [...]]]></description>
