Sorry about the ...Thanks for the comments deannie! Sorry about the font colour. Because I c&p'ed the responses out of my email, some formatting came with it. I tried to make it look normal in a browser, but obviously it doesn't work for Google Reader. Lesson: only cut and paste from a basic text editor with no formatting... or figure out how to use blogger editing tools appropriately.<br /><br />NevinNevin Danielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08736906013698057171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538529110459708848.post-79740282728537209822009-09-03T19:38:00.056-06:002009-09-03T19:38:00.056-06:00Regarding "You make the important point that ...Regarding "You make the important point that individuals within a company can instigate change. Have people written to you since your piece was published, to tell you they have done this successfully?"<br /><br />I wish I had told you how I did instigate change once where I worked instead of just telling you how I identified with your Manifesto. Just by being me. I worked for a company that manufactured Plywood and Engineered Hardwood Flooring and let me tell you, what a male dominated world that microcosm is! So, I took it upon myself to begin to speak up, assert my opinions and encourage the females around me to do the same. I don't mean in that ball busting kind of way either. Do you know what happened next? Suddenly, leadership classes were organized, lots of women, including myself were invited to go and we were mentored by senior managers. I saw gals on the production line get promoted to supervisors, then managers. I myself increased in my creativity and contributed strongly to a project that I would never have been a part of because I wouldn't have been seen as a "player".<br /><br />Because I took action, eventually I was able to make changes that took me to a new city, newer challenges. You just never know what will happen till you TRY. So make your choice: Flow, flee or FIGHT.
