Perception - Perception: Take off the lens cap!

Over at www.management-issues.com blog section there are a ton of references to websites set up to complain, winge, whine or air out legitimate complaints about employers or the companies. Some actually provide insight into how corporations are killling the initiative of their employees; others reveal more about the individual. The lens you see the world through is the lens that creates the perception. See the world as a victim and no matter what you do someone will have you labelled as a bully without anything being based in reality at all. The flip side is to be seen with the utmost contempt....that goes with someone whose reference point wobbles between higher than thou and zero to minimal self-esteem. Either way, the capacity to flipflop creates an untenable working relationship.

Business research demonstrates that employee performance and engagement is driven by passion and high values around social responsibility. No doubt as research continues the rest of what is obvious will be established until notice is taken. But unless the individual's are ready to take charge of creating a reality that is far more expansive, no matter what opportunities are placed in front, they will be missed.

There is a dynamic distinction between how you see yourself and how you see reality. The capacity to contribute and to navigate without being confused is all in the desire to clear the fog off the lens and see clearly.
