One of the hallmarks of my career, if you can call it a career, is that I have been able to adjust to change very readily. As I look around the world, I see people talk about being flexible and being able to adjust to change as something that they are totally into and cool with and view as a viable option for their lives. Then, I see them doing everything that they can to resist change at every step.
This goes for people and organizations.
Here’s the thing: the old economy or the old way of life or any “old” way of doing things is dead. It has been dead or dying since the beginning of time. Our jobs should always be to embrace challenges and push forward.
Or, as I know we have all heard at one point or another, the way out is through.
So look at yourself and tell me, how flexible are you, really?
