Cheers - I actually had a really good conversation in the pub on Friday with some other relatively junior staff, and we all came to a much better understanding of our goals and motivations, and how closely aligned they are. It really drives the point - the social connections are what makes or breaks you in an organisation. Any meaningful change needs allies, needs to persuade people, and needs to deal with ego and politics. The people responsible for what you want to change are probably those currently in management roles! It's probably one of the harder transitions from academic/training when there are absolute truths, to business where things become much more complex.
