Breaking Free from the Corporate Maze
Ever felt like your creativity is suffocating under layers of corporate policies? Gordon MacKenzie spent 30 years at Hallmark Cards navigating this exact tension, eventually creating his own job title: "Creative Paradox." His journey from conformist to creative rebel offers profound insights for anyone feeling trapped in organizational monotony. The corporate world, with its rules and structures, forms what MacKenzie calls a "Giant Hairball" - a tangled mass of policies, procedures, and precedents that grows increasingly dense over time. But rather than getting pulled into this hairball or abandoning it completely, MacKenzie suggests a third path: orbiting. This delicate balance allows you to remain connected to your organization's purpose while maintaining enough distance to preserve your creative spirit and unique perspective. It's not about rebellion for rebellion's sake, but about finding authentic ways to contribute that honor both organizational needs and your creative truth.
