Imagine you collapse and they realise you lacked something – and suddenly you’re brilliant, and everyone is so impressed you persevered before. Yes, it’s The Vitamin. What’s The Vitamin in organisational life? https://www.linkedin.com/posts/antlerboy_salvation-enlightenment-the-vitamin-whats-activity-7419298721139425280-h-5N
Salvation. Enlightenment. The Vitamin.
What’s the equivalent in your organisational life?
Everyone’s hoping for a turnaround – this delicious little post and response from tumblr captures it so well:
“My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency”
“Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?”
Is The Vitamin a… dream? Some people do find breakthroughs – I’ll link to a twitter thread below where a lot of people offered their personal take on ‘what was The Vitamin for you’.
But what is The Vitamin in organisational life, in your experience?
