The Times, They Are A’ Changing
Revolution and change. If I’ve learned anything in business, it’s that success doesn’t come from being too comfortable.
Success is a result of revolution and change. The constant search for improvement. The desire for revelation.
Does change come from greater discipline and self-control or is it a random self-defining moment born of a succession of coincidences and circumstance?
As a consultant, this process is extremely difficult to analyze and each person responds to change or being asked to change in different ways. Sometimes we can determine if a client is a good fit up front and establish a game plan quickly. Sometimes it takes 6 weeks of meetings to truly understand what the game plan is. Sometimes the revolution is quick and bloodless and sometimes it’s a decade-long siege.
As a consultant, it’s my job to effect change. To bring the revolution, however big or small may be needed. But revolution is a whole lot easier (and more successful) when everyone is ready for it.
