What if the status quo is an old blanket you keep wrapping around yourself. I recount a Microsoft visit and a 2005 chat with Kathy Sierra, and make the case for organizational fire-starters as modern day pirates. I explain why curiosity sparks change and list practical skills to change the status quo.
Rolly's Take
This blog resonates with the restless spirit who feels the weight of conformity pressing down, urging them to break free and embrace the thrill of curiosity. It speaks to those who have sensed that the comforts of the status quo can stifle creativity, igniting a yearning for the daring and the uncharted. Here, the idea of becoming an "organizational fire-starter" is both an invitation and a challenge, offering a glimpse into the transformative power of questioning norms and fostering change from within. It's a space for the imaginative, the bold, and those willing to nurture their inner artist, reminding them that curiosity is not just a trait but a compass leading to the extraordinary.
