The Gray Area

Fighting for High Standards      Can Help Define Culture

2/10/2023

Most people don’t like rules because they mean someone is telling them what to do. Rules generally have a negative connotation because they are limiting.

Then there are standards. Standards can seem like platitudes. They are aspirational but at times seem unrealistic, bereft of expectations that seem achievable. They are often part of mission statements in a grand vision or plan, shouted to the sky to begin and then forgotten in execution. Standards are hard to live up to and maintain.

    About the Gray Area

    The world is a better place when we work as a team, listening, understanding, thinking and then talking with each other about solutions to our challenges. Too often, we lose sight of that and become entrenched in what we already know or experienced, rather than consider what we haven't.

    The Gray Area may highlight examples of solutions derived by saying "what about?" "why not?" or "think about." Sometimes, it will surface unconventional ideas for potential  solutions.

    Topics could include leadership, policy, sports, economics, music, culture and more.

    It's a place for possibilities, not absolutes.

    I was born with critical thinking, trained to think objectively in  journalism school at Mizzou, and to think about many perspectives at business school at Mizzou and Duke.

    I've enjoyed a marketing career in which success hinges on understanding human behavior and attitudes of people of different ages, background, cultures, beliefs, etc.. All of this has reinforced to me that our collective thoughts are greater than the sum of their individual parts.
