Being in a new work environment, there is always a psychological factor that must not be underestimated. When you have a new job, some psychological theories say that you have to be accepted first by the group and only after that you can bring your new ideas. It is true. But, what I just said is not as important as the law of gravity! I mean that the way you adapt to a new work environment depends on the mission of your compagny has or in what kind of market your compagny is doing business. I consulted Mister Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, a few times in the past 2 months. Facebook is part of the social medias world on the Web. It has a very competitive external environment. Mark confirmed to me that he wants his team to bring constantly new ideas to develop quickly innovating projects, even if you make some mistakes along the way. His team acting that way made Facebook the most innovating place on the planet. That is of course included in global strategy or Strategic plannification process. But the slogan at Facecook is "innovate or die". Mark confirmed to me that innovation and creativity are the most important values in his compagny. So with this ensight of Mister Zuckerberg, who became as my own brother along the way, I understood better that the spectrum of possibilities is going from a very bureaucratic environment (where you can't change almost anything without being marginalised - I have no precise compagny on my mind) or a very creative environment (where you will be challenge a lot to reach your highest potential as quickly as possible). Between those tow ends, that spectrum is in fact divided in many different shades of possibilities. I have to admit I was greatly inspired by the great american entrepreneur spirit of my new friend. He should write a book or something. So this is my answer but inspired by some one who knows really what he is talking about.
