My first blog shared thoughts related to the concept of being “interim”. Being in a state of change, transition, or somehow in between. The topic of facing unexpected change continues to be a common theme in daily headlines and professional journals. How do we plan for a certain future in such uncertainty? What should we be doing today that will help us succeed in such turbulent times?
To create conversation and hopefully some action, through my next several blogs I’ll offer seven somewhat tongue-in-cheek rules by which to navigate unprecedented change. My hope is that presenting these rules in a straightforward approach (perhaps in line with what we might read in some of the professional literature today) and then sharing some of my personal thoughts will spark thinking, conversation, and maybe even a little constructive debate. Let’s begin with rule number one.
Rule #1 – Whatever it’s about, it’s really all about me.
