Obstacles You See
Found poetry for April 15, 2022 National Poetry Month Poetry Challenge
From the Hidden Brain archives, “Work 2.0: The Obstacles You Don’t See” comes this idea, “Introducing new ideas is hard. Most of us think the best way to win people over is to push harder. But organizational psychologist Loran Nordgren says a more effective approach is to focus on the invisible obstacles to new ideas.”
I cover the topic in a series of haiku poems.
