For Better Or Worse

Me or everyone.

The individual or the team.

My brain or the culture.

It’s clear that the only thing I can really change in all of this, is my part. I am my responsibility. And nothing else changes without personal change happening.

But it’s not enough. I’m a human. Other people matter. The circumstances they exist in matter. It’s all part of a whole. I’m part of a whole. I can see that.

So, if I want to be “better”, and I have a definition of what “better” might look like, I’m going to need to persuade someone else to join me. That’s how culture happens.

And For Better Or Worse, that’s how we operate. That’s how human life progresses. And sometimes regresses. Someone persuades us to change ourselves, and we change. And then we persuade someone else to do the same.

We are all involved in this process, whether we like it or not. But we can choose whether to be pro-actively or passively involved.

No other options, I’m afraid.
