You have no say in your company.
People like to control their own destiny, but unfortunately, companies are not democracies. There is good news, though. Strong leaders recognize that employees are a great source of ideas. Many organizations have opportunities for frontline employees to participate in groups that help chart the course of the company.

When I hear people saying they have no control over others in the company, I urge them to simply focus on what they can control. Everyone can improve their 25 sqft! Do what you can do and management will (hopefully) notice.

Kim,
True. I’d add that they probably have a lot more impact than they think they do. In many cases, it is just an assumption of helplessness before they even try.
Thanks for commenting.
