Tactics that create indirect value in an organization often can't be understood by it.

An organization will find them "kooky".

In an organization you have to be exceeding expectations at your day job, in a traditional, non-kooky way to survive.

If you only do the "kooky" stuff you're liable to get knocked out of the game.

Even if you have a miracle, people will assume you just got lucky.

As you get more senior and have more of an obvious track record of success, people will assume you know what you're doing, and also be more willing to believe that a lucky break was something you caused in some way.

Being a systems thinker early in your career is a curse.

Your boss will not understand you and maybe even find you threatening.

And you won't have a track record to fall back on.

You'll see how everything is more complex and requires gardener style approaches, but you won't have earned the flexibility and credibility to do atypical approaches that anyone else might find kooky.
