A colleague asked me this unusual question during a recent reorganization project that affected the entire company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From a development point of view, the project\u2019s goal was to uncover and improve internal processes, introduce structured ways of working, and build a culture of continuous improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In more practical terms, it was about moving from a setup where colleagues worked ad hoc\u2014solving whatever problems they felt like, often holding key information in their heads\u2014to a system where what matters is documented, processes are planned, and if someone falls ill, their tasks can be taken over smoothly thanks to shared data and clear steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of folders with individual names, we moved toward role-based, logically organized information. Instead of handwritten notes in notebooks, we created standardized processes. And perhaps most importantly, problem-solving no longer stopped at putting out fires\u2014it started focusing on long-term solutions and root causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Making this shift in an organization that\u2019s been operating for over 20 years isn\u2019t easy. It\u2019s a real cultural change. And it\u2019s inevitable that not everyone will feel at home in the new system\u2014especially those who thrived in the old, more chaotic freedom. It\u2019s also natural that those who don\u2019t feel comfortable will eventually move on to a workplace more similar to what they\u2019re used to. And if we want the new culture to grow stronger, we need to bring in new colleagues who are aligned with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we, as leaders, have a clear view of this bigger picture, we can prepare for people leaving. And if we know exactly how we want our team to function\u2014what values and principles we want to work by\u2014then there's not much room left for sadness. It becomes a simple question: does this person, like a puzzle piece, fit into the new picture? If not, it\u2019s not good for them, and not good for us either. People and workplaces both deserve a good match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don\u2019t always need a planned cultural change for this to happen. A new leader can shift the atmosphere just by how they behave or what they expect. Team restructuring can also trigger the same effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Someone who thrives in a structured, rule-based environment isn\u2019t better or worse than someone who\u2019s used to making fast, independent decisions and solving problems creatively. They just fit different types of roles, in different kinds of companies. They belong in different puzzles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe it\u2019s helpful to think this way as an employee too. If you don\u2019t get a job, it probably doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re \u201cnot good enough.\u201d In most cases, if you weren\u2019t good enough, you wouldn\u2019t have even been invited for an interview. It simply means the company didn\u2019t feel you would fit well into their team. But somewhere else, there\u2019s a workplace that\u2019s just right for you.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
