As a subordinate, you receive orders from your superior.
As a server, you receive orders from your customer.
As a child, you receive orders from your parents.
As a worker, you receive orders from your boss.
As a player, you receive orders from your coach.
Do you want to visit the restaurant where the food is inconsistent and often not what you ordered?
Would you want your 4 year old daughter to do whatever she chooses without regard?
Do you want your star player to only run the plays as called and never improvise?
Do you want to go to work and punch the same widget the same way every day?
Culture answers these questions. Our culture is not what we say, it’s what we do. Do we encourage thinking, lying, sloppiness, collaboration, love, kindness, yelling, cursing, etc? Ultimately, the success of the organization and the happiness of the participants is determined by the culture.
It’s up to you to find the right one or create your own. 🙂
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
Genesis 7:2 KJV
