"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle" Philo
We came across this recently in a book and felt very moved by its truth. In our work we encounter this in action every day. Each client or team we work with is facing significant challenges commercially and personally. We have noticed that the 'great battles' have been dominated by some things you might recognise:
- A demand for significantly increased targets with reduced resources
- Searching for customers in extremely competitive but smaller pools
- Handling changes to your business at a faster and more complex rate than ever before
- Outsourcing work and maintaining service across time zones and cultures
- Struggling to manage a healthy life and a full workload
- Becoming adept at managing the balance between technical and relationship ability
- Facing the challenge that those who work for you expect you to be an authentic role model
- Finding enough meaning in the work you do to sustain yourself and others
- Searching for new challenges in flatter structures without changing companies
- Developing this mystical thing we now call emotional intelligence!
- Standing in front of an exhausted team and demanding more of them
- Worrying about your security
