Business Problems Solved Podcast Change is Lonely
Now may be a time for self-reflection, and to examine the many pathways that have merged to form our own unique journeys. Lee has been considering his own story as a change agent, specifically examining the sometimes loneliness of change and its implementation.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Being a change agent means that often we are the sole voice of innovation. It takes a certain mental fortitude, as it’s not always a happy place to be.
- Leaders of organisations often attribute stagnancy and failure to its people. They believe that things that have worked in the past should work always, and never need to be revolutionised.
- The only factors we can truly change are our perceptions about others, and our feelings towards our role and how we perform.
- What can you do to challenge your own thinking? Are there angles you haven’t considered? Only by opening our minds to the wisdom of others can we approach challenges from a differing perspective.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We can be the only person in that organisation pushing that boulder up a hill’
‘You can only change the things you have direct control over’
‘Concentrate on you first before anyone else'
