A lot of things get done throughout the work day merely because someone was too scared to say STOP or lacked the confidence to ask why they were assigned to do what they were.
From an employee stand point, every task is an opportunity to reaffirm what you’re doing it for. It’s why company culture, company goals, and, most importantly, the company message is so vital to know and understand.
Often times, when one is doing a task one deems unnecessary, they still have a legitimate purpose for doing it when they know why the company is in existence (its core value).
But not every company shares its why. Not every company inspires their employers to be part of their movement. In fact, not every company is moving.
So we must fall back on our own values. We must ask why. We must understand what we are doing this or that for… and appreciate it.
From a manager’s perspective, if employees aren’t asking why, if they’re not seeking out work that matters, then it’s an indicator of a larger company problem.
Do work that matters or be the company culture changer. They need you.
Stay Positive & Ask, Know, Care
