People are inherently creative and passionate problem solvers.
If they are not creative and passionate problem solvers at work then they will be creative and passionate problem solvers somewhere else.
If they are not being passionate and creative problem solvers now they will look for an opportunity where they can be creative and passionate problem solvers soon.
There are people who have given up on the possibility of being creative and passionate problem solvers. They have learned that their attempts to make things better are unwanted or unsuccessful. They have given up trying to make progress and have settled for maintaining the status quo.
- Do you manage people who fit this description?
- What part has your management style and ’organisational culture’ in fostering this kind of passive behaviour?
