And sometimes the only thing you can do is leave . I'll be posting more about Jef's work in the near future, so do check back soon! @Jeniffer - I like how you left a challenge to everyone reading your comment. Personally, I try to do something at least once per week to change my perspective and stimulate creative thinking - that's the purpose of my SmallChange series. @Bruce – I can definitely agree that many organizations are full of Red Monkey Hunters!

How unfortunate it is, that the majority of people, including CEOs, fear change, rather than exploring or embracing it, or seeing it as something that might bring them profit and long-term employees. The organizations which do welcome change, and which challenge that which "have always been done that way" tend to do better in the long run than those that stick to their old, unbending ways. What can you change about the way you do things? <em>Jeniffer Karas's last blog post..<a href='http://thethirtydayyear.com/2008/05/28/getting-started-and-learning-as-you-go/' rel="nofollow">The Achievers-Part 3–Getting Started and Learning As You Go</a></em> This is such a good post, and so true of every organization I have worked for in the past.

I like the ideas as I have seen the innovation and the killing of innovation. I believe I have been a pioneer in most organizations. Often Red Monkey Hunters have caused conditions that made me move on. I would definitely like to know more about Jef and his concepts. they are very easy to grasp at this level. Thanks so much for bringing them to our attention. <em>Bruce's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/gettheskinney/ObXs/~3/293546374/' rel="nofollow">Lose 1 pound of Fat a week - Activity</a></em> This guy is like the Tom Peters of Europe.
