Years ago I took on a role with a new company where I was asked by the CEO "to help effect change"
When addressing the organization I used the familiar phrase "Let's say this all together and when we're done never say it again ' I hate change -we've never done it that way before'"
To my dismay right before I spoke the CEO read his resignation letter. Without his full support I knew I could not start to bring change. I watched that organization die.
Those who know me know I've had a colorful back ground. Worked all over the world and for some wildly unusual folks. I embrace "Not doing it that way"
Let's step out of our comfort space and do something new; something that may scare us
