Buffaloes in the Workplace: Thriving Change as a Jungle Rod
Today’s workplace has become a jungle where every morning, both lions and gazelles wake up ready to run in order to survive. The survival principle is, “It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle; when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.” The unexpected changes in workplace could be compared to the appearance of water buffaloes in an African village, where I grew up. They invaded villages without warning, devastating social structures, uprooting the harmonious livelihood of villagers and leaving them feeling insecure and stressed out.
