Want a universal tip to escape dead-end situations?
Look for ways to meet a global, not local, need.
For example:
Increase the company's profit margin instead of cutting costs.
Endure discomfort today to eliminate suffering forever.
Go beyond your duties to safeguard the client or the team.
Think, "How can we create more value together?" instead of "How can I squeeze my partner?"
Make decisions as if you’re the beneficiary, not an employee.
Accept project losses to free up attention and resources.
Interesting, right? But why?
The thing is, you can’t solve a problem within the system that created it.
It's as futile as a flower trying to self-pollinate without a bee.
It’s different when you rise to a higher level of abstraction.
From this point, it becomes clear that there is no contradiction.
Needs are hierarchical because there is always a higher meaning.
The solution has always been within your reach.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
