My old roommate used to come home from work, eat a pizza, and then call our friend down the hall. It was such a routine that one day I just pretended I was a voice in his head and said “I ate a pizza, now I’m gonna call her.” We both got a good laugh and it became a game we played called “The Voice” where we’d guess what everyone around us was thinking at the time.<\/p>\n
The workplace, similarly, can be very predictable; however, its important that when we become predictable in the workplace, it is for good reasons. Lateness, lack of productivity, lack of customer service aren’t things we should become predictable for.<\/p>\n
How do you become less predictable at work? Wow always, not just at the time the boss is around or when its time for a raise. Similarly, as leaders, getting stressed out when a district manager or senior management comes around can really wear on staff.<\/p>\n
Shoot for less predictability at work.<\/p>\n
You can still enjoy your pizza and then call her if you want, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
