I grew up being told that some rules were meant to be broken.
Some rules were outdated or didn’t make sense or were completely forgotten about or were used to hold people back who shouldn’t be held back.
I’ve come to find that it’s not that some rules are meant to be broken; it’s that some are meant to be changed.
A permanent rule is only permanent until it’s not, and it’s not when someone speaks up and it’s far easier to speak up when there’s data to back up the decision (even if that data is XX of people break the rule every day).
New data —> new rules.
When we hide the data or ignore it–that’s when we hurt our culture.
Stay Positive & Fluid
