I have a job that requires a great deal of coming up with solutions. What kills innovation for us is bureaucracy and employee turnover. It is very slow moving machine when it comes to finding champions and getting the green light. By the time an idea makes it to the right level of leadership the employees needed to execute are gone.

Unfortunately the lack of innovation is what caused them to seek greener pastures. I am a creative problem solver but when I can’t execute on the solution it drains my creative energy.

I wonder why it moves so slow 🤔 Lack of trust, resources perhaps. I've certainly seen this before. Good luck keeping your creative energy... And maybe you'll be a catalyst for them to get better ☺️

Too many levels of approval and being understaffed.

I think this has led me to become an island to myself... an odd one. Resisting the machine that makes order-takers, but also feeling the loneliness of being a champion in the wilderness. Its WORTH the effort to make really GREAT ideas come to bear, but it's not easy. Thanks for breaking this down and I see why you're the perfect fit for what I have in the works :)
