Return on Intention

For some reason, I don’t this very surprising. In an article from New Mexico Business Weekly, very few people created New Years resolutions for their job. You can read the article here.

Not a lot of ground breaking news here. As we progress through the years we seem to become more and more distant from work. Well, at least most do. This is most likely because too many people take jobs they don’t truly love, but are at least good enough that they keep getting paid, and keep getting pushed up the ladder making it harder and harder to leave and start a new more fulfilling career. For most I guess a proper New Years resolution for work would be “don’t get fired”.

A lot of this is also a product of the job description inflation that has been going on for a while. Job descriptions seem to describe the perfect employee for the position, but sometimes we forget that no one is perfect.

I guess it will be interesting to see what the new year brings, and years to come as this quiet revolution of the reorganization of priorities and roles progresses. Consumer becoming creators, what could happen next?
