Tree tearers

We don’t necessarily get to choose our customers, especially if they’re our boss or an internal client. But we do get choose where we spend our discretionary energies: with the excited, rule breaking, risk taking, tearing up trees challenger … or … the miserable, only sees the negatives, risk averse, nothing changes around here except the date mud-stucker.

Maybe you have to serve both – ok, you absolutely have to serve both – but even the most time pressured of us get a little flexibility. (If you don’t get that, what are you doing here?) 

Seek out the tree-tearers.

Spend time with engaged and interest-ed/ing people.

If you can’t find them in your immediate group, look a little further. Volunteer for crazy projects, for difficult assignments, for anything that gets you involved with the kind of people you want to be involved with.
