Like the Borg on
Star Trek, for years paramedicine providers have been told to assimilate and conform. Assimilation keeps you safe, conforming makes you a good employee.
Over my 45-year career in paramedicine, I have heard managers spout numerous clichés regarding assimilating and conforming: “Don’t rock the boat,” “Stay the course,” “Be seen, not heard,” and “Promotions come from quietly putting your time in.”
Why do managers say these things? They say them because it’s easier to manage than lead. They want reticent personnel who never question their decisions or the system. They want “yes people” who do not think for themselves. Managers tell you, “Follow the algorithm, and the system will reward you with a promotion.” Leaders want you to participate in and improve the process to make patient care better.
