3 things that have surprised me working for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:
-- It has surprised me how both employees and leaders have the same vision of Church issues that that members have. They are in here wrestling with all the tough questions. Not only that, but the people working on solving said issues are SHARP. Change at the church is like steering an aircraft carrier, and there are a lot of people lining things up behind the scenes for years before any changes take place. (All things in order.)
-- I have been surprised with how God has instigated growth for me. Each problem I have to solve here is global and multidimensional rather than just "improving shareholder value" like normal corporate America. The result is an uptick in spirituality, high-level thinking, and empathy for different cultures.
-- Looking from the outside I saw a lot of suits, but most of my bosses and coworkers are women. They shape everything that goes on and I am constantly impressed with their work.
