By David Zinger with John Junson

II

Acclaim for Assorted Zingers

This unlikely combination of cartoons and poetry will bring a smile to your face. More importantly Assorted Zingers will make you think. These are zingers that zing.

Richard Axelrod Author, Terms of Engagement: New Ways of Leading and Changing Organizations

David Zinger and John Junson’s new book, “Assorted Zingers” is a new and innovative portal into the way we think about our work and workplaces. Its construct and context transports us to a place that is at times breathtaking, insightful, instructive, humorous and most of all hopeful. In a way that only David and John can do, their book tells the truth about what is and is not happening in our workplace. It also offers the invitation and a confident pathway to transforming our workplaces from a place of artificial limitations and contraction to a place of engagement, community, and real expansion. It is a portal worth entering and it is an important book worth reading. Thank you David and John, for your gift of this book to us. It’s fabulous. Once read, you can never go back to the old ways.

Foreword

Rarely do we meet the writer who is as shrewd and astute with his insights as he is poetic and creative in expressing them. Welcome to the world of David Zinger, the person who has put a new face on the world of employee engagement through his popular network. With the publishing of this gem, David now offers us inspiration for deepening our personal engagement at work. As his friend and colleague, I have had the distinct pleasure of being witness to David’s unique brand of genius on many occasions. It astounds me how he continuously finds new ways of generously sharing his wisdom and humor, and with this book, his giftedness as a poet.

There is nowhere like the workplace to play out the wide spectrum of our human frailty and foolish-ness, our wisdom and wise-cracking, our small-mindedness and meaning-making. Like fish unable to recognize water, we often cannot see the full folly of our ways as we become accustomed to and part of the larger culture we work in. Thus the need to stand back, pull focus and gain perspective. If, as G.K. Chesterton asserts, “There is a road from the eye to the heart of things that does not go through the intellect”, this small book provides such a path. Brimming with surprise and revelation, David Zinger and John Junson offer a potpourri of cre-ative, joyful and luminous snapshots into our everyday work life with fresh and, often, breathtak-ing suggestions of ways in which we might respond.

VII

Through colorful caricatures and the spare lines of poetic conciseness, we are drawn in to ponder what is real and what is ridiculous, what is hilarious and what is holy, what is simply absurd and what should be absurdly simple. Within these pages you will experience a breath of fresh air, ample belly laughs, several wake-up calls, and even a few slaps upside the head. Poetry and humor are reputed as menaces to conformity, and they do not break with tradition here. All in all, they are invitations to shake off our cynicism, to embrace our humanity, and to inspire a bias towards action rather than apathy. For those who care to take the road less traveled in the day to day journey of life at work – you have found a fit-ting guidebook! Happy Trails!

Acknowledgements

This book would not be without John Junson and his work on design. Obviously John contributed the cartoons but he also contributed so much more. I acknowledge Denise Bissonnette, not only for the foreword to the book, but for our conversations that lead to the idea of the poet and pragmatist at work. I’d like to thank Barbara Edie for her editorial assistance. I also acknowledge the over 3600 members of the Employee Engagement Network for contributing to my thinking about engagement. ~ David Zinger

First of all, I need to thank David Zinger for many, many years of friendship and encouragement, and more recently for giving me the opportunity to work with him on exciting new projects including this book. Looking back to my years in Toronto, I need to acknowledge my late friend, Evan Godt, for teaching me so much about leadership and communication, and Derek Gillingham for inspiring me to push creative boundaries. I certainly need to thank my parents for all they’ve done for me throughout my life. Most of all I need to thank my partner, Pauline Greenhill, for her love, support and patience. ~ John Junson

Welcome to Assorted Zingers a book to tweak and alter your thinking about work and the workplace. Each poem or cartoon has a zinger inside the words or images to encourage you to observe work around you and your relationship to work and your co-workers. These are not poems or cartoons to ponder or dissect for hidden meaning or find an iambic pen-tameter structure. Rather, look at them as small jolts, glimmers of recognition, or even a short diversion from your work.

This is also not a book to be read cover to cover rather open the book like you would open a box of chocolates and sample a poem or cartoon. Bite into the cartoon or poem, savor the flavor, and get a small jolt of working nourishment.

We trust you'll enjoy the cartoons and poems, and like any good box of chocolate, feel free to share them or pass them around. You can leave the book on your desk and let someone come by and bite into one of the poems or cartoons. Remember, these cartoons and poems will melt in your mind not in your hands. They will melt away rigid views of working, stress from an overload of demands, and fixed or inflexible views of working and the workplace.

Go ahead, start reading and take a bite out of work.

Introduction

The course of courage

Courageat workis expressionnot impression.Not medalsbut meddleinto whatwe care aboutnot exclusivelybut inclusively.Courage isthe heart at workand hearty work.Rather thana course in couragecourage is following our course.Or making correctionswhile remaining true.We don’t find couragewe express it.

Management

Command and controllose their seatto conversation and collaboration.

Organizations humanize into communitieswhile impositionsquiet respectfully into invitations.

Hierarchy is redrawn on the napkininto a matrix.

Leadership levelswhile management spreads.

Our white space decade aheadinvites us to get more from managementthan we ever imagined.

13

Going horizontal in a vertical world

Our organizational problemsstem from being so vertical in a horizontal world.Elevators of rank, privilege, and delusiontraverse up and down the corporate hierarchygiving the illusion of height over width.Even our page views are portrait, not landscape.We need to move horizontallyto be in touch with each other.Can we dwell on the levelrather than taking it to the next level?Whatever deluded us to thinkour title, role, or function put us above or below anyone else?I love the limitless stretch of expansive prairieas we see forever in all directionsnever hearing, “look out below.”

14

15

Mistakes

Mistakes were made,as they always are,yet here is where the big mistaketakes place.Blame.Hide.Yell.Cry.Deny.Make no mistake.There will be mistakes.Let’s just not make two in a row.

16

17

Listen

Can ICan I talkCan I talk with you?Not at, not over, but with.Our with gives wings.Can we...Can we talk...Can we talk with each other?Not I, not me, but we.Of course,if we talkit must begin right hear.

Corporate without class

The new guydown the hallneeds to learnhow we dothings around here.We’ll train himwithout a courseby rolling eyes,banter at lunch, andafternoon chocolate bribes.He’ll fit in,won’t make wavesand tread lightlyaround cultural cubicles.

20

21

Encountering variance

We respond to variancein so many waysfrom ignoring to snapping,from bewilderment to beffudlement.When we experience variance at worklet it trigger listeninglet it trigger understandinglet it trigger learning.Our approaches may varyyet it is valuableto embrace variancewith full acceptancebefore moving on.

22

23

And another thing

The guy behind mein 16A on AC297 to Vancouverknew everything.He spewed nonstop advice for three hoursat the woman in 16C.He never said,“I don’t know.”“What do you think?”“Tell me your ideas.”Over Moose Jaw I jammedloud Steely Dan tunes into my earsto obliterate the irritating expert.

The lesson from 33,000 feet:Don’t make others listen upyou’ll tune them out.Rather listenside by sideto ensure your ideas fly.

24

25

Dick and Jane

He said.She said.They said.We saw.She saw.They saw.What was said,was sawed,in half.There goes Spot.There goes Puff.There goes communication.Goodbye Dick.Goodbye Jane.

Gaudi Information

If I was an information architectI would imitate Gaudiexpressing Spanish flair fused withBarcelona beatinto artistic displays of moving information.The information would be beautifulcreating towering displays of datathat would continue to be built well past my short shelf life.I would wave informationtransforming data pointsinto curved beautyabandoning myopic relianceon straight lines.I would invite my information patronsto walk through the data buildunable to keep their hands off of the implicationswhile grabbing hold of meaningful measuresconveyed in waves of inspiring information.

28

29

Music

We need more musicin our workplaces.Not insipid elevator tunes,ear bud iTunes isolation,or another recruiting video in the form of a lip sync office dance party.Rather, music that joins and moves us.Don’t blow your own horn,trumpet out a new program,or drum something into us.Teach us to hear and make the musicthat resides within us, between us,and from the results of our efforts.Let’s orchestrate co-created symphonies of heartfelt work.

Warsaw 2010

Frigid January in Warsawwalking down windy frozen streetsin the city leveledto ruin and rubble (1945).Chopin pieces play frompush button street benchesgiving note to his 200th birthday.As the frozen mermaid stands guardsinging a song of resilient rejuvenation.

Walking in WarsawI realizewe can rebuild,we can always rebuild.There is no quit in WarsawWarszawa – Dziękuję bardzo.

32

33

Meet well done

We meet.We discuss.We plan.We assign.We commit.

You would think,we were in action,yet we dwellinaction.

Meetings can be well done andlean can strip away excess.Yet actions are rare.

34

35

Know your no

Do you knowyour no?Do you followyour nose?Or lose scent of your preyby a confounding crisscrossing of yeses.

Who knowsthat you knowyour no?

No need to shoutor shake your head fromleft to right and back again.

When you knowyour no,you are also saying yes.

36

37

Slide

Take your seats andmute your mind.One obligatory funny slidedevoid of humorheralding the march of116 slides of overpopulated data.

Bullet points sprayed at uslike verbal machine gun fire.Excel worksheets transformed into3-D data charts fit for magic tricks.

The business case pulled out of a hat.We slumber into corporate wonderlandwondering where is Alice?

So just in caseyou forgot the magic,the power point isthe point of real connection.Don’t screen your messagethe medium is you.

Work as soul food

Pizza partiespiece of cakecookies toodonuts dunkedin copious coffee quaffedchocolates on desksstacked in inukshuk figuresguiding the way to the lunch roomweaving by assorted candies scatteredaround the office like seashells on a beach.

The challenge is notto be fed at work.It is to prepare, share and create work that nourishes body and soulwithout heaping on the bonbons.

40

41

Looking out, looking in

Scott stuck his head into my cubicle,looking for something that wasn’t there.Our eyes metbut it was notme he was looking for.

Sometimes I dreammy cubicle is zonedinside an aquarium.I’m about to be schooled by grumpy guppieswhen I notice Scott peering through the glass.I wake up with a terrible need to pee.

42

43

See what I mean?

There is a mean in meaningbut there doesn’t have to bemeanness at work.The meaning of workworks for mewhen I work on mewhile working with meaning.Say what you mean,mean what you say,and never be mean.That’s what I mean.

44

45

Lacuna

Lacuna n. pl. la·cu·nae (-n ). 1. An empty space or a missing part; a gap.

She came to workbut wasn’t there.Focus blotchedby last night’sfear filled family fight.Invisible scarsdeep insideslicing into her sense of self.She valiantly but vainlytries to do her joblike she knows she canbut she can’t.Last night’s cutting words won’t mute.We cannot seewhat isn’t therebut connect the dotsand we are drawn into an invitationto punctuate the veil of silence.We realize our co-workerwas diminishedknocked off balanceby verbal violence flaring behind closed doors.This is not the time to tuck our headdeep down into our cubicle shell.

46

47

Glance

Close the form.Avert your eyes from the screen.Take a chance on me.Take a glance at me.What you see is what you get.But do you see.Do you get seeing?Do you really get it?No need to staredeep into data sets.Just take one glance and let me knowthat you see me.

48

49

Winging trust

What happened to trust?Did it go?Was it here?Did it crack open too earlyspilling out doubt, deception, and despair?

We are not Humpty Dumptyperched on the organizational wallready to do a group trust fall.No blindfolded trust walkthrough our cubicle mazewill put trust back together again.

Without trust our organization is an empty nestdevoid of the safety and nurturing needed for flight.

Transparency is overrated.We don’t need to see through you.We don’t need you to see through us.We need you to see us through,as we see you through, too.

Hope not for trustfor hope casts trust into a future that is never here.Rather gather the twigs —honestycaringempathyrespectmutuality —thatch them into an organizational nestto nourish, protect, and launch us into flight.

50

51

Stereo conflict

In this corner...

The match is about to begin.Manager poised behind desk.Employee ready in one corner.Employee expectant in the other corner.The bell sounds.

He said she saidbut she said “no you are wrong.”So she said he saidand he said “that isn’t right.”

At the end of 10 roundsthey stopped and awaited the manager’s decisionlike plaintiff and defendant on Judge Judy.

The manager paused, deep in thought.Wondering if he should have spaghetti or salad for lunch.

52

53

Business as usual

We passed.

Elevator door opens.You enter.I look at ceiling.You stare at floor.Six floors upwe exit.

I escalator upYou escalator downI look left.You look right.We glance at each otherwithout a hint of acknowledgment.

Then you passed away.

I’m sorry our eyes never met,like the look between quarterback and receiverbefore they connect for a score.

Incomplete. Dropped. Missed.

If only I’d found the gallto commit an illegal procedure.Stop the elevator between floors,look you in the eye, and ask, “how are you?”

It didn’t happen.Business as usual.

54

55

Just one word

Distill workinto one word.Blend 4 partsenergyeffortmeaningcontributionwith 4 partsboredomfrustrationfatigueirritationFuse into one word.

56

57

Engaging breaks

We need a breakor work gets broken.

58

59

Beyond hope

Hope is a placein British Columbiaas you drive out of the Canadian Rockiestowards Vancouver.Hope is not a placewe should journey to at work.We will get it donewhen we embracehopelessness.We don’t hope.We trust.We do.

Work in the momentnot drifting dreamingly towards a mythical future.When we replace hope with gumptionwe get it done.

60

61

Engaging the meatball

Another meatball tossedon our overflowingspaghetti-like plate of work.Before forking into our crowded strands of workyet another meatball is tossed on the pilecolliding with the meatball already thereprecipitating an avalanche of meatballshurdling downwards in all directions at once.If work is to nourish us we must say noeven when we are told, “it is just one more meatball.”

Dark chocolate

Monday morning at 10:24Work inertiaRestrained not restedFeeling antsy and irritableWrapped in a brain fuzzy fogWant to step outNeed to step inNot outHow sweet it would beto nibble dark chocolate.Close eyes.Inhale.Just be.The dark chocolatelingering on the roof of my mouth.

64

65

Citius, Altius, Fortius

Is there a torch within your workplacelit with the flame that burns withinwhile also being passed along?

We need Prometheus like people at workwith the courage to steal fire from Zeusand champion human kindness.

Catch a flame and pass it onswifter, higher, stronger.As you carry the torch the torch will carry you.

66

67

Flood of work

Work flows like a raging riverwashing over sandbags of effortall sense of calmness washed awayand “where the hell is that file?”Our stress management skillsno longer hold back the flood ofdemands, threats, conflicts and hassles.Even a broken paper clip can snap us into stress.We are mired knee deep in irritationas our heels sink into the mudand the shine leaves our shoes.We grab a late latte lunchto make it past 2:30 without dozing at our desk.

We must craft a raft.A raft of resilience thatched with calming breaths, realistic expectations, and human kindness.Using no as our rudder to steer away fromturbulent waves of relentless work.

When the water recedes,will the cherry blossoms bloom?

68

69

Below the surface

We swim in an ocean of performance.We do this, we do that.The work gets done.

We swim in schoolsbiting on skills andhooked on corporate competencies.

You cast your netinto this oceanic performance.Catching our movement to assign a score.

Will we be a trophybrought on boardor thrown back for being marginal?

Scaling our initiative from 1 to 5.A year’s performance cut openYou thin slice our teamwork to 4.3.

Toss your scales aside.Jump overboard. Swim with us.

70

71

Passchendaele progress

How do we manage changewhile barely changing ourselves?We are caught in no man’s landcharging out of trenchesto who knows where andwe can’t go back.Yet we are not moving forward.We keep our heads down asbarrages of tips and tacticsexplode over our headswhile three more screens scream.Face down in the mudwe hear the management consultants bellow outthe latest 55 rules of success and the200 competencies we need to achieve them.Or they send us anemic marching ordersdressed up as large font 100-page parable booksabout moving cheese or learning five secrets.

Perhaps it is time to just stop in the mucksee where we are and if we really need tostorm the next trench.Let’s look ahead and look carefully at what we leave behindbefore we race head long into a Passchendaele parade.

72

73

Branded

Are you branded?Painted and tainted by marketing mavens.Packaged like a box of Tideuntil soap stings your eyes. Can you be a personal brand withouta logo, a swoosh, a blog, a tweetor a tightly rehearsed 30-second elevator pitch?

Would you ever want to be stuckin an elevatorsealed in as the door closesand your traveling companionregales you with their pithy elevator speechwhen all you asked was,“what floor?”

My father, the irreverent CPR railroad executiveoffered me his leadership legacy:“Son, in life you are going to fart, fumble, fall and fail.”

Without our vulnerability to be sliced by paper cutswe become nothing more than a box of TideSqueaky clean.Far too soapy.Used up after just one rinse.

74

75

Line of sight

When we areflying highabove the earth33,000 feet over Saskatchewan prairieand look down through our small windowdo clouds obscureor do we see the cloudsand the prairieframe each otherlike an Escher printso that we aregrounded in cloudsof floating movement?

76

77

Six words

This poem, every line, six wordsCan the story of your workBe worked out in six words?Is that too much to ask?Would it be a Chaplin comedy?Would it be a Chaplin tragedy?Would it even have a plot?Choose your six words very carefullyWith toil and labor over meaning.Can six words capture the essence?And what will you leave out?Express six words of your work.Go ahead, try it, write now.One two three four five six.Never forget Ernest Hemingway’s great story.“For sale, baby shoes, never worn.”

78

79

Humor me

There is no joy in Mudville

When did work stop being funso much that we needed workshops white papersand gurus to convince us to play?

Holy mackerel do we really need to flopplush fish over cubicle dividersto demonstrate our laughter competency?

Forced fun feels phony like spilt snake oilponding on a boardroom table while minutes are readhours are missed and venom stains the oak.

Meanwhile Guru Garry pinches clown noses to our facesleading us in a mantra minute we chant, “ha ha ha!”

I to I

I am learning to be more myself.

I am learning to be more.

I am learning to be.

I am learning to.

I am learning.

82

83

The ReorganizationThey moved us,yet we were not moved.

They changed us,yet we remained the same.

Boxes on pyramidal chartsyanked off the shelflike Cheerios from a grocery store.

They morphed usinto a matrix.Duties reassigned as we searchedfor our coffee mug that failed to move with us.

They pushed.We stiffened.Memos menaced as washroom whispers hissed.

Bounce back.Start over.Invite us.Ask us.Involve us.Trust us.

We move together,not chess pieces at war checking each other into corners,we play on the same board.

84

85

Two roads diverged

Let me tell you a taleabout the disengaged.A tell tale sign isyou are told not asked,you are fringed not foreground,work is an energy drain,not an energy gain.You would rather be anywhere else,yet you seem stuck in place.And you have to staybecause of the pension, economy, fear, benefitsor just the plain inertia of it all.

It is time to tell a different talewhere you are connectedin the foregroundgaining energyand making contributions.If that tale cannot be toldget your tail out of there.You only have so many days to workand when you work in the those daysand those days work for youit makes all the difference.

86

87

Payday

When did it becomethe way of workto hateour workour organizationand our peers?

The daily distaste for workcrumbled our contributionsinto gritty crumbslacking nourishmentfor body, soul and self.

Is this what we get paid for?

88

89

Retirement

He knew his number.The golden watch.

With a Sisyphus-like countdownhe watched his watchin a hypnotic passage of working days.He longed to retire and escape dazefilled with lethargy and loathing.

The day camehe got the parting golden watch, a good pension, and false freedom.Imagine his dismay when nothing changed.He made his numberbut learned too late thatthe 30-year watch had actually filled his days.The countdown ended without liftoff.Retirement was much like working.

We can’t go back in time.We can only move forwardinto the time we have.

Our days our truly numberedif we believewe will live better in a future time or place.

Work/life balance is not 30 years of workingfollowed by 30 years of not.Work/life balance is to fullyinfuse work into our life andlife into our work.

Do you know what time it is?

90

91

Career mayday

One pilot.Sparse cabin crew.A full load of passengers.

Passengers idle time away waiting to boardFight boredom in flightIgnore the person sitting two inches awaythen at the end of the flight leap out of their seatsto stand in the aisle moving nowhere waiting to disembark.

At work we need more pilots less baggageto file our own flight plannavigate our own careeras work takes off.

We can only fly into the futuresitting in the captain’s seatwith our hand on the throttle.

92

93

Just managing

Are you stuck on the management grid?We manage to manage just about everything.We manage people and enroll in stress management.We practice project management then learn anger management.

We manage impressions and manage by walking around.We manage expectations and learn disaster management.We manage by objectives and by exceptions.

We learn performance management and take something for pain management.We even manage to get by.

I hunger to see the horse run free,running off the grid unmanageable, unfettered, and unafraid.

94

95

Punctuated leadershipHow do youpunctuate your leadership?

Are you a “.”bringing work to an endhaving the answerknowing when to stop?

Are you a “,”with just one more thingcreating listsmerely pausing but never stopping?

Are you a “@”head bowedin reverence to screenchecking yet another email?

Are you a “!”jumping aroundshouting announcementsmaking declarations?

Are you a “( )”keeping things inside and togetherkeeping things outbuilding a silo?

Of course you’re nota punctuation markbut what markwill your leadership leave?Perhaps your answeris exactly the punctuation needed.

96

97

Too tense

If you are too tenseat workyou are probablydwelling in the wrong tense.Either the future tense of anxietyor the past tense of guilt and regret.To be less tensedrop the past,stop reaching for the futureand live in the present.

98

99

Waiting

Is waiting a roomyou sit impatiently infeeling the weight of the worldholding you backfrom what you seek,or is waiting a space you inhabitas long as you are there?

What are you waiting forand where are youwhile you wait?

100

101

Broken

There was no ringjust a promisetil retirement do us partor so we thought.

We were barely together.You took me for granted andI felt entitled.Drifting and shiftingfrom joined to strained.

We both saw it.Said nothing.Time passed.

On the yearly anonymous surveyI let you have it.Conveyed in numbers transformed into graphsI declared myself disengagedas you felt dismayed.

I don’t want it this wayneither do you.Let’s stop being so anonymous.No more surveys.No more whispered grumbling.To engage is to connect.

Let’s cast aside the blame,call me by my name.

102

103

Tongue depressant

Nobody talkedas the project tanked.At least not in public.

Heads bowed.Eyes averted.Tongues bitten to avoidpossible tongue lashing.There was no conversational alchemyonly a fool’s goldof thought transmutedinto working whispersand empty silence.

104

105

It is later than you think

Our 2:30 meetingnever beginsat 2:30.And even if webooked itfor 2:45we would still not starton time.For in our workplaceon timeis always10 minutes laterthan it is.

106

107

Circling work

I sitin a cubicleat the bottomof the pyramid.Distant voicescascade down the structurecajoling me towork harderwork smarterwork it outkeep working.I don’t long.I don’t belong.I churn out unread reports.Pyramids were builtto house dead people.Yet I’m alive.I’m here.Hear me out.Seek me out.Let’s throw this pyramid a curvesmoothing sharp edgesinto a circle.The circle of connection, healing and work.
