Are you still using Winndoze 95? or OhEss8? Do you still use a computer with a 2 Gig hard drive and 128K ram...Are you working with EmEsWurd2000 without virus protection?
No?
Really!? Why not?
Ahhh....Because you can't run 21st century programs on outdated platforms...?
Uhhuhhh...
And because there's so many nasty viruses around these days
Uhhuhh... I see... makes sense really...
So...may I ask...
- how often do you upgrade your mental operating system to prevent the human equivalents of freezing (paralysis by analysis), crashing (dummy-spits, freak-outs) or start-up problems?
- how up-to-date do you keep your anit-virus thinking to protect against nasty workplace viruses like Hubris, Arrogance, Know-It-Allism, Negativity, Cynicism, Apathy, Complacency, High Anxiety, Doom & Gloom?
- what new software have you 'installed' (by reading, studying, listening, researching, travelling, mixing with new people) to handle the complexity & dynamics of 21st century work?
If you're still doing things the way you've always done them, if you're still doing what you've always done... sorry, but your pyramid's going down... because on this planet (as far as I know) there are only two options: decay or growth.
