Politically Correct

Nov 15, 2006 23:21

I love all the politics that comes with being part of an organization in this corporate world. Not really ;)

I'm probably way too optimistic about what an organization should/could be like. For that reason I probably wouldn't make a good leader. I don't like it when people do not cooperate or when things do not go the way that makes the most sense to me. But, I am aware that this is not a perfect world and am able to deal with it.

I was noticing today how straightforward and upfront my manager was able to be with some people that we work with. I wish that I could be that way, but I care too much that people would think I'm a female dog.

I suppose in actuality I really shouldn't worry about it. I look at my manager and am impressed/inspired to be the same way. So maybe people would look at me that way if I was in that position. However, as much as I hate to admit it, it's still a man's world out there. It seems that women still have to work a lot harder to get anywhere. And it's seems okay for a man to come across as a "jerk" then for a woman to come across as one.

Anyway, just some random thoughts.

work, thoughts
