- I was browsing quotes tagged 'care' and got a bit startled by this one. There's something deep about being a too flexible worker in this thought. You bend for ever to keep your job. When you loose your job anyway due to a merger, a significant change in the market position of your employer etc... you notice that everything you can - what you considered to be your core skills - was valid only in the old silo that does not exist any more.
A question I currently find to be one of the most interesting is how to motivate people still living in the satisfactory old silo to dare to familiarize with the world expanding outside - the next world with thousands of next opportunities. What would be an understandable signal of care?
