Talk With A Smile - This is What Happens to My Brain at Work.

I've recently been walking around with a beautiful smile on my face because I work in a direct goal orientated culture. Which pleases me greatly, as I've been wanting to upgrade my synergy and quantise my benefit status. My boss (Kevin) says that my work is showing a great deal of profile acknowledgent on all action item fronts.

But this has got me thinking - am I ticking all the right boxes? Are my management systems performing with maximum capacity? What can I do to improve my product knowledge and eventually capitalise on any movement potential? Would this entrap excess bandwidth? My face time has been diminished by the target environment lately, and perhaps I'm losing sight of the big picture. I really think it's time that I took ownership of the situation and put my foot down. Taking it one client at a time just won't cut the mustard any more. I need some form of maintenance improvement.

And how can this be achieved? I must, despite all indicators pointing to the contrary, invest time in the global roll-out. All around me, key markets are expanding on a universal scale, resulting in a clear over saturation of actionable environments. To help gain traction, I feel it is important to attain a clear view of primary objectives, which are, obviously, in need of an urgent statistical massage. Thus it is my mission statement, from here on in, to become the pacesetter. Disambiguation is a must, and I will not rest until all zerotasking has been eradicated. Those who feel the desire to upskill should take the golden opportunities presented to them in such a ambition friendly workplace. This is the only way things can be forward - moved.

Nevertheless, nay-sayers seem to be on the uprise. I'm hearing plenty of chatter that says "James, why even try? We live in such a globalised world now that one cannot help but feel over-frustrated, what with all the multitasking one is required to optimise in these difficult times. Look at your friends - they seem to be enjoying the world-universe of possibilities without any lingering feelings of self-guilt or status anxiety. Why not just sit back, relax, and let the good times role?" To which I reply "maybe."

But have these nay-sayers ever been involved in the wonderful no blame / target assessed workplace that I have the privilage of being privy to? Do they really understand nu- market forces? I think not. One cannot truly realize the pressures of the machine until one has been intimately involved in it's inner workings, and when, like me, one has, one realises that the only way to go is directively!

So from this day, let this be my source subjective affirmation: Hencforth, I will adhere to my goal management strategy, and take no prisoners.

NB: Whilst I acknowledge this post is not Lena - specific, I firmly believe that this is a subject that impacts us all.
