This month’s leadership quote: We cannot become what we need to be, by remaining what we are – – Max Depree
When faced with anything new that is significant in our business or our life… a new role, a new competitor, a new technology, most of us humans, first resist.
And, it is what we do next that matters most.
Change is difficult. And in my experience as a leader and a leadership coach, what I have learned is when we say we like change, the truth is we only like change when we are leading it. When change is thrust upon us, the resistance begs to take over.
What if instead, we were to embrace all the change that comes our way, not just the change we initiate. By recognizing that we cannot remain as we are; rather, we must recognize the changes we must make within ourselves so that we can become what we need to be to thrive in the new environment.
The initial results of my Pivot are excellent. I feel I have much greater clarity regarding the next 3-5 years..
