Cat is out of the bag

April 7th, 2006

This week I told my boss and my team that I did not apply for any of the new internal positions … that I will be taking the package … that I will be leaving.

It caused quite of spin.

It’s interesting to watch how people react to the changes going on around them.

Most people were quite excited for me … way to go!

Others were worried about me … had I thought everything through?

Some were more focused on how this affects them.

I find it fascinating to watch the group dynamics … the ebb and flow … the emotional energy … that moves around a group of people.

There is so must power within this energy.

It’s too bad that most people don’t even see this energy

They don’t even realize that they are caught up in it.

It’s this energy that good leaders will harness.

They see how their actions impact this energy … they know how to mold it … to shape it … to bring the best out of people.

I wish more people would just notice it … that would be a good first step.
