Break Free From Your Silo For A Better Life
Though it may seem condescending or cold-hearted to talk about increasing personal happiness at a time when it feels as though the world is burning, hear me out.
Have you got one of those friends who cheer you up the moment you hear from them? One whose energetic and hopeful words on an email can’t help but affect you for the better. One that gives you hope in your future and makes you turn the radio off just for a day so you can gather your strength once again.
Maybe the compound and cumulative results of this could be as effective as other, more physical attempts to heal a small piece of the world, and it all starts with inner peace or happiness.
In the words of the Dalai Lama,
Happiness Is Not Something Ready Made. It Comes From Your Own Actions.
Siloed thinking refers to an organisational issue; a breakdown of communication, an ego out of control, a loss of purpose and eventual redundancy. Fracture and implosion is the fate of these organisations if they cannot stop this flow. It’s when a team or department close its doors to sharing and cooperation and operate with only their individual needs; it breaks away from the mother ship which also means that it loses touch with the values and mission of the corporation.
