For myself, I have made a pretty radical shift OUT of an organizational positions--one where org-influencing was prized most. I'm sorting out now how much of me really is org-influencing, and I need to keep doing that from a coaching/consulting/mobilizing posture, and how much of that was really just demanded by the job.
I think I may actually be wired up like this:
1) ideas, 2) people, 3) orgs
In a pie-chart it might be this:
45% Ideas
35% People
20% Orgs
But I have had to function more as an org-influencer for many years as a second-chair leader. So perhaps I wasn't in my sweet spot--or perhaps my ideas/people leaning helped the orgs not succumb to the problems an "org only" focus might have.
This is great, I am looking forward to engaging with you.
On the surface it would seem like I am wired ideas/orgs/people though it is probably more truly people/ideas/orgs since needs drive my ideas. Do you see how I am processing? 🤔
Thanks for the comment. Would your "needs" be still more conceptual and thus pretty consistent--then I would say it is still ideas. If the needs tend to jump around and change a lot--more responsive to the needs you hear/see any given week--then I would say you are more people-influence oriented.
I'd be interested to know, now that this series is done--how does this apply in your world? Do you have a hunch which of the three domains is your first/biggest influence? And what are you learning about being intentional with it?

Thinking on this for myself. How about you?
