As many in Sweden are coming back from vacation, I notice that there is a bit of a different mindset evolving. From a more laissez-faire attitude while on vacation, people are gearing up for work and for doing the right thing for themselves. Having been away from the organization and colleagues, it easily becomes about what you want to accomplish. Perhaps it’s because I’m getting a bit older, but I am often changing the perspective from what I want to do to how I can help others accomplish their goals. Especially when their goals are not purely selfish, but rather serve a bigger goal. Now, I am far from a saint, so I still like it when I accomplish things and achieve success and recognition. As a reminder to myself, my reflection today is: how am I going to help? And you? How are you going to help?
