Para introducir cambios y mejoras tenemos que identificar claramente en qué nos estamos equivocando, es decir, en qué estamos fallando. Por este motivo me gustaría abordar un asunto que me preocupa y mucho: la gente que se dedica a intoxicar y provocar malestar en el clima del mundo de la educación impidiendo de este modo las aportaciones que nos pueden ayudar a avanzar y mejorar. Esta gente tóxica la encontramos en los claustros de profesores, en las familias, en los equipos directivos, en las AMPAS, etc. Pero, ¿cómo podemos identificar a esta gente y protegernos ante ellos fomentando organizaciones inteligentes? Voy a intentar exponerlo en el siguiente artículo: En todo grupo humano nos encontramos con personas que se dedican a intoxicar y a generar problemas. Son una fuente constante de conflictos… Se trata de gente envidiosa, autoritaria, mediocre, rencorosa, etc. que realmente no han aprendido a convivir. Por tanto nuestro objetivo debe ir encaminado a conectarnos con aquellos que “sintonicemos”, es decir, con aquellos que nos transmiten ilusión y optimismo frente a las cosas, aquellos que a pesar de la situación en la que estamos inmersos en la actualidad están interesados en actuar para mejorar las cosas.
