Need Re-inspiring at work?
Monday, October 22nd, 2007Are you one of a growing number of busy, successful managers who have lost their enthusiasm for work? It just does not seem to engage or excite you in the way it once did.
Increasingly managers are stressed and, despite how much they have to do, they often feel bored. They have lost their zest for work and even face anxiety, burn out and depression.
In “Personal Renewal”, John Gardner tells the story of the barnacle. He says “The barnacle is confronted with an existential decision about where it’s going to live. Once it decides… it spends the rest of its life with its head cemented to a rock.” For a good many managers, it comes to that.
We’ve all seen men and women, even ones in fortunate circumstances with responsible positions who seem to run out of steam in midcareer. They stop learning in important areas of their lives and find themselves in a rut that they don’t know how to get out of.
You know how it is, you have problems motivating yourself to go to work in a morning, and when you get there you procrastinate a lot, spend your time on level ‘c’ priorities, surf the net or talk with colleagues about non-work subjects. You know this is happening but you don’t understand the causes or know how to cope.
