As a change maker, you have a lot of tension to manage.
Leaders are rewarded and promoted for results, so in theory, going against the grain and doing things that get you better results is good.
On the other hand, there’s a fine line between subverting a process and being in noncompliance with it.
We kind of know this instinctively: unless you’re in an organization that tolerates a lot of difference and a lot of diversity, you can’t stand out too much.
But if you can effectively manage this tension between being tasked with getting better results, and not being “too weird,” you will see tremendous value. You will learn faster, work with more creativity, get more done with less stress, and build stronger relationships with the people you work with.
