Naming the Camel in the Room
On inherited ambition, the pain of unlearning it, and what becomes possible when organizations - and people - start working with their actual nature.
There is a specific kind of discomfort that does not come from failure. It comes from clarity.
The moment I am thinking of is not dramatic. It does not arrive with a crisis or a collapse. It arrives quietly, usually in the middle of something ordinary — a meeting, a decision, a conversation where everyone around you is talking about scaling and speed and breakthrough — and you notice something. You are not tired of trying. You are tired of trying to be the wrong thing.
That is the moment you see the camel. 🐫
