At some companies you can feel the momentum building. People are engaged, theyre approaching their work with energy, enthusiasm and resilience. Being part of the organisation becomes part of your own identity.
At others, it feels impossible to get everyone pulling in the same direction. People lose sight of the companys purpose, they start looking out only for themselves – or elsewhere for new opportunities.
