Thanks for your questions, Deborah. Some people prefer not to rock the boat. The status quo feels comfortable and safe. But I think the comment I made yesterday about “difference” is at play here, too. People have a variety of work styles and communication styles. We tend to gravitate (unconsciously, I think) toward the people who are most like us. My next post includes comments from a wildly happy idea person. He shared the term “wild duck” to describe some idea people and said organizations need to find ways to embrace their wild ducks. Unfortunately, I think too many organizations shoot those ducks or ask them to relocate.
