Appropriate Focus? – A Friday Funny

By Michelle Malay Carter on June 5, 2009 

Focus Upon the Right Things

A while back I wrote a poem about focusing upon the right things.? This sign reminded me of that poem.? (Be sure to squint read the fine print.)? The sign is for your Friday funny pleasure.? I was serious when I wrote the poem.

I’m OK.? You’re OK.? Let’s fix the system.

Seek and Ye Shall Find

Organizations that seek to enable will find engagement.
Organizations that seek engagement will find manipulation.

Organizations that seek to encourage will find development.
Organizations that seek development will find resistance.

Organizations that seek to question will find innovation.
Organizations that seek innovation will find elitism.

Organizations that seek to align will find communication.
Organizations that seek communication will find platitudes.

Organizations that seek to understand work levels will find leaders.
Organizations that seek leaders will find power mongers.

Organizations that seek to clarify will find accountability.
Organizations that seek accountability will find scapegoats.

Organizations that seek to be fair will find trust.
Organizations that seek trust will find teambuilding exercises.
