Dropped off the face of the earth

Yes that's what happened to me when it came to most things (including my blog) in the last month or so. Had an extremely hectic work period which should continue for some time now as I push my team and me to greater glory hopefully! Yes I'm in that phase where I like challenging the norm; shaking people out of their comfort zone, pushing my ideas through and out deliver on everyone's expectations. The eventual possibility of failure doesn't scare me. It excites me instead, as I will keep at till I achieve what I thought from the beginning I wanted. What I don't understand is why other people who I work with don't think, feel or behave like that. How can one be happy just getting along doing their job to a level of mediocrity they believe is there best?? It bothers me no end when I see people with great potential just live by the excuse that this is their best and they don't know better? That's just bollocks! In my profession especially, I see a lot of people (not everyone) from middle class backgrounds (including myself) and smaller cities with timid aspirations doing PR because it was an easy job to get and pays well. They are happy executing (which in most cases is what the clients tell them they want) work and agreeing with clients mostly as against standing up and saying I don't agree with you! Don't get me wrong here. It's not as if the client is always wrong, but if you as a consultant do believe you have a difference of opinion make it count because the end result will be a thought through and weighed strategy. Don't forever hold your peace. Stand up and be counted. Clients want and respect that. So come on!!!
