Chaos By The Book

9/21/2018

The very first thing I did before writing this blog post was to visit Amazon.com to search on job and career-related chaos. I was enlightened and surprised at the complexity of the subject – my present daily experience is so chaotic that it’s pushed me to find out more how it works.  It isn’t momentary but, permanent and unpredictable chaos.
 
By way of hundreds of titles I learned you can manage chaos, thrive in it, thrive on it, build it into your systems, it is not industry specific, it has a cure and of course, it has strategic value. There are theories about chaos cause and effect. Then, chaos has a “how to” contribution for those who want more of it. It can be digitally-centered. It can lead to personal failure or success.
 
If you used the word on a resume would it translate well? Is chaos managed, intentional, leader-less, strategic where you work?  In a new kind of post-career position, chaos is real, fluid, present and dangerous. It is also shared – my workforce understands and accepts this even if no one understood it initially. You might say I’m learning to manage chaos.  Because it’s constant, so is the pressure to manage it and even more, to think of it as a valued skill. Such skills are developed in the most unusual circumstances; not so much by the book but by persevering.
