RT borrowed a phrase "if your behavior and that of your managers is conventional, then you will get conventional results." I must add that at IBM, conventional managers and executives from the traditional IBM world will not only deliver conventional results to the team, but they pull the rug from one's feet for failures.

Leadership, sorry "leadership" at IBM is a series of 10 fancy titles relaying a message and some poor band 6 actually doing the task, then those same 10 fancy titles running it back up the flagpole to take credit.
Learn to say, "No." Pick the projects you want to work on or start a project you would actually enjoy. Just do it. They pass us around so much that our roles don't even remotely resemble the ones we were hired for. So frick 'em.
The only way we can force management to change is through dissent. Period.
Or, just quiet quit. They are quiet firing all of us so all is fair.
