How do you deal with a long-standing issue at work? Since I took on my role there are a few issues which my team let me know about that I have been trying to get solved. The problem is they involve multiple departments and team, so they require what I call, the long game approach. I had a boss a long time ago who was at that company for 25 plus years. HE told me that if he had a problem with his boss he knew that if the boss wouldn’t change he just waited him out. He believed he would be at the company forever and the boss would not so he would just wait it out. I have no vision of me being anywhere for that long so I ham hoping I can solve at least a few of these before Jesus returns. They do however require that I not get frustrated and not give up but to make small incremental steps toward my goal. Whether that is making good will with someone I need to fix something for me or changing the way I do something so someone else sees the need for change. I have to look at it as if I am chipping away at a giant block of marble. I am sure Michael Angelo didn’t create his David statue with one swing of a hammer instead it took many swings both big and small over time to end up with a masterpiece. Me I am not looking to build a masterpiece I am just looking for something that resembles a human form, just getting part of it to look like a leg would be enough to make me happy.
