![]() ![]() ALL I had to do was come in and "smooth it over". There were some "challenges" with the engagement with the client over the past year but things were up and running. We had signed a contract with our first Canadian customer and we were opening a new office which would also support our largest US customer. I was bright eyed and ready to take on the world and I told this was a GREAT opportunity. The best example of what Morpheus talks about in terms of "taking the red pill and seeing how deep the rabbit hole goes" was when I was with Keane in 2005. I also believe our teams know when things aren't right and as leaders we sometimes go out of our way to paint rosy pictures which can erode our credibility. Having said that.I also believe that you can't truly leave things in better shape than you found them until you deal with the harsh realities that no one else has wanted to deal with. This has been a blessing and a curse for me over my life and career. ![]() ![]() Maybe it is my Industrial Engineering background.or just who I am at the core of my being.but I have always gravitated towards and been an advocate for "living the truth of reality". You take the red pill.you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." Neo chooses the red pill and joins the rebellion. As described by Morpheus: "You take the blue pill.the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. On the other hand, the blue pill represents a beautiful prison-it would lead him back to ignorance, living in confined comfort without want or fear within the simulated reality of the Matrix. The red pill represents an uncertain future-it would free him from the enslaving control of the machine-generated dream world and allow him to escape into the real world, but living the "truth of reality" is harsher and more difficult. In The Matrix, the main character Neo is offered the choice between a red pill and a blue pill by rebel leader Morpheus. ![]()
