Higher Level Open Loops
andyc | Nov 23 2006
Folks Thanks to Merlin's Podcasts, I've finally realized why I've been procastinating all over the place for the last few months. The runway is sorted. The process works pretty well down there. Somewhere between there and 40,000 feet it all goes wrong. It doesn't help that the company I work for got acquired this year. I know what job I'm going to be doing, but there's a lot of paperwork to be done before it happens. But the change of role brings lots of 10, 20 and 30,000 feet questions up. I don't even know what the questions are, let alone the answers. Does anyone have any good triggers for questions to ask, and thought processes, at the higher levels? 13 Comments

Hmmm, 50,000 ft goals? That's where it all gets too fuzzy for me. What is my purpose on this planet? How the hell should I know? I don't feel I have a deeper purpose. I'm just here to make enough money to have fun. Enjoying making the $$$ is a bonus. As I get down the levels it's easier to think in terms of "I want to do this", but even then I don't really have a career goal of wanting to do X in 2 years time - largely because I'm as happy as I can expect doing what I'm doing and don't want to change it too much. I just want to be good at what I do, and do it with as little stress as possible so I can pay for the next nice dinner/holiday/gadget/trip to the theatre. » POSTED IN:
