Interpersonal Business

These are challenging times for American Business. Change is in the air; are we inspired or threatened by this prospect? More importantly, if we truly have bought in, do we really mean it? It is much more common to fight for ones comfort zones than to truly embrace change. Three questions come in to play for effective change. Is the inspiration behind this change consistent with the current evolution in the marketplace? Does this new objective inspire and renew you? Finally, and perhaps most significantly, is this a concept you can personally endorse and sell as if it were your own? These are the key elements of sound and productive change.

Remember how perceptions carry over between our grade school and high school years? The new century requires us to be willing to make changes in our style and effectiveness. The world, let alone technology, is more than willing to pass us by. Are you “old school” and irrelevant, or have you been willing to stay up with the times? Key staff members can provide an effective voice for change.

A bad idea well executed has a much greater potential for success than a good idea poorly executed. It’s all in the critical mass. How bad do you want it, and are you willing to pay the price? Repeated efforts establish a foundation for success; remember try, try, again? Don’t just make a plan; put it into action. Options become available to you. The alternative is in the consequences we must accept.
