Pulling or pushing...

When I start to feel as if a driver, employee or agent is pulling against me or the Company then there is a problem.

In the work place you have a choice, to stay positive and try to make things work OR to wake up negative every day and complain about the system.
It does not matter what line of work you are in or what your part is in the work place, we all have that choice.

Every business has the same type of politics and red tape.
 The product and company and line of work might be different but we all share the same hurdles and overall complexities that interfere with what we feel we can do or how we do it.

What to do then, pull or push?

If you continue to try to pull against the tide you will lose. You will be known as the negative person that people either avoid or work around. This will not help you or your future or the situation.

Speak up, stay positive and understand that your circumstances are not unique. Everybody needs to face these type of situations at one time or another.
As hard as it is try to confront those that you may have a problem with rather then to talk about them. The more you let something fester the harder it is to approach and the higher the walls will be.

You always have a choice..... do not not choose to pull.
