This year I experienced what I can only describe as fear of change, apathy or perhaps sheer threat by the leadership of the organisation I was working for. In fact, each time I reached out to executives at customers and got projects going, it was met with disbelief? Followed by being called names such as 'Minotaur'. A most bizarre experience for me who is naturally collaborative and wanting to solve challenges creatively. Perhaps old school 'yes sir', 'no sir' leadership is too ingrained to change.
