Protocol covets what passion uncovers.
Some companies deify decorum though spontaneity might better serve. In doing so, they subject inspiration to order and passion to protocol. What they ignore, however, is the value of both. Embraced, order sustains inspiration and protocol prolongs passion, multiplying its power. Alone, however, order depletes.
Observe, for example, any workplace meeting and watch as participants deny themselves in an effort to appease others. Each says not what she thinks but rather what is expected. In doing so, however, she lets decorum deprive. Until she is willing to be genuine she denies her genius, because genius is always passionate though protocol prohibits.
