Navigate and Embrace Change | Simon Sinek

When affecting change in an organization, we should aim for the early adopters and let the others follow. Sudden change can evoke fear in some people, but those with an infinite mindset will embrace uncertainty and opportunity.

I once heard someone say, “People don’t fear change, they fear loss.” What a gem of wisdom!

For the last 3 years I was put in 3 different grades, opened new books to study curriculum and compile new files etc. In school organizations there are always members who are selfish and take what's good for them, way of least resistance and sit in comfort zones and then we get infinite players who jump against the current, embrace the challenge and change - it's part of life. We are forever learning and I must add, it's been trying, time consuming and stressful but I am managing. It's also about TEAM and the people who shine the torch to light up our way who actually help us grow. Simon Sinek ❤️... Agree we are always changing for the better not worse, I pray. 🙏

Love this. I often work with my clients to determine if they see change as progress or if they see change as loss. For those who see it as loss, it helps them get perspective around their feelings.

Thank you for this reminder to focus on finding the early adopters ... I know my products have value to a certain group of people (concerned with the environment and willing to pay for repurposed goods), but was becoming discouraged when the so called masses were seemingly completely uninterested! Your insights shine a light in the right direction!

Thank you! Much needed! 🫡

Glad to see the emotional dimension given importance. I bring it up when I do corporate consulting and enchantivism work. For people to change, their emotions have to get behind it, and that can take time and preparation and guidance.

I wanted to take a moment to recognize your exceptional ability to navigate and embrace change. Your resilience and adaptability in the face of uncertainty are truly commendable. Your willingness to embrace new opportunities and challenges sets a remarkable example for others. Remember, change is not just a part of life; it's an opportunity for growth and progress. Keep embracing change with confidence and let it lead you to extraordinary achievements.

[MikeRenouf]

I agree that all of us have the potential to improve, and that requires change. I think it's an often over-looked fact that sometimes we need to stop, take stock and consolidate what we have in order that we can gain perspective. That allows the next phase of change to be more effective.

Without changes there are no adaptation and learning

[Statman]

I like to think of it in the concept of organizational stampede. A few start moving for a reason, followed by a few more who quickly understand, then the majority move either through understanding, trust, or blind faith. Those that don't move are trampled or left behind.

Thank you for bringing up this hot topic. The world is changing fast nowadays. People don't know how to deal with dramatic changes. I Ching, the book of Changes, has been shining light for human being for thousands of years. If you want to master your life, you have to learn about changes.

[VitoCorleone]

Change is a direction, not a destination.
No Big Change Suddenly Happens. It Incrementally happens and, can happen in a long term way life also, incrementally.
