When the inside and the outside of an entity are out of sync, the whole entity risks breaking apart.
I saw this thing happening to organizations but also to individuals.
Sometimes it's the inside that can't keep up with the acceleration of the outside. This world changes at such a ludicrous speed that many are stretched until they break. In those cases, it may help to disconnect and find or create an environment that is more in sync with our inner speed or direction.
Sometimes it's the opposite. The inside changes so much faster than the environment in which we live or work. Or maybe it moves in a different direction. When that happens, we experience friction, tension and stress. Some deny what's happening inside just to fit in. Others dumb themselves to avoid feeling the pain. Many just hold on until they break apart or burn out.
Acknowledging this difference in speed or direction is the first step to deal with it constructively. Once we are aware of it, we can find solutions to create a new harmony in which all parts are included.
