Change Who?
by Miki SaxonHaving trouble getting people to do things differently or do something new?
According to Henry Thoreau, “Things don’t change, people do.”
Over the years, I’ve watched managers and companies try to change the outcome without changing the input.
They’ve talked/explained/begged/pleaded/threatened, but nothing changes.
They are suffering from Einstein’s version of insanity.
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
If change is the goal, it’s best to start with yourself.
“To change what they do, change how you think.”
You need to change because the way you think, what you think, how you think, and what you believe — in other words your MAP — dictates the authenticity of what you do and the responses you get.
No matter what great ideas you read, hear or talk, no matter what great leader you try and channel, you will always walk your own MAP.
