Good friend of mine, actually my mentor, calls it death by alignment. <BR/><BR/>The only way found to fight this alignment thing (and I do) is putting results on the table. Sometimes it helps sometimes it backfires on me...<BR/><BR/>Fortunately there are more reasonable people within the org who care to cherish creativity and not standardization.<BR/><BR/>In your book on leadership I remember how you wrote to your English teacher how you hate an assignment, and you did it so passionately that he said it is the best work.

I have seen mad lived this one many times. <BR/><BR/>"Dwayne, you've done well with so-and-so, but we need you to do the same witch doctor magic with the others, too."<BR/><BR/>I have felt like saying, "Oh golly, I have used up this year's allotment of magic dust. I won't have any more until after I've attended the annual witch doctor's conference in June."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02305697664289102933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922407.post-75154275862875058912007-10-17T15:08:00.000-07:002007-10-17T15:08:00.000-07:00Mr. Weinburg,Thanks for visiting my site to client...Mr. Weinburg,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my site to clients.
