Change the way u tink abt change

Have u ever met someone who wasnt happy unless he or she was going through some kind of massive change? Perhaps there r a few individuals in this world who thrive on uncertainty, enjoy feeling insecure and love to hav their routines disrupted. But i tink it would be safe to say tat most ppl resist change, especially when it affects an idea, position or practice tat is near and dear to them. Althou ppl in leadership roles r offen called upon to be agents of change, i hav found tat leaders resist change as much as followers do. Tat poses a big prob in tis world of rapid transition n constant flux. There is phase which enlighten mi, somehow happen to be true, "Unchanged leaders equal unchanged organisations". My goal in this post is not to teach u how to enact change or tell u when u need to change. I merely wan to help u understand wat most people - including many leaders - tink abt change.

1) Most ppl change juz enuff to get away frm their prob, not enuff to solve them. They change juz enuff to escape; and as soon as they escape, they say," Im ok now - I dont hav to do anything else." Unfortunately, tis is like painting a rusty car, sooner or later the paint wears off and the rust has only gotten worse.

2) Most ppl wan to hcange their curcumstances to improve their lives instead of changing themselves to improve their circumstances. Lets say u came to mi, as leader offen do and said "Xiaoqiang, giv mi some leadership ideas so i can change the people of my organisation." Well, im happy to offer leadership advise, but not so u can change someone else. If i giv u advise, i'd like it to change u. Bcoz if i can change u, ur organisation will change too. As im fond of saying," Ppl do wat ppl see."

3) Most ppl do the same thing the same way and expect different results. I see it happen all he time: ppl keep doing the same thing th same way, and yet they expect something to get better. When u wan something u've nv had, u hav to do something u've nv done b4.

4) Most ppl r willing to chnage, not bcoz they see the light, but bcoz they feel the heat. Read this carefully. As a leader, u better change when u see the light bcoz if u wait n change when u feel the heat, its too late. Leaders go 1st. I know, sometimes u dont wan to go 1st, especially when it comes to change. But u hav to - tats wat it means to lead.

5) Most ppl r unwilling to pay the immediate price of change; therefore they do not change and pay the ultimate price. Changes is uncomfortable. It's unsettling. Sometimes, its downright painful. But in the long run, the alternative is offen much, much worse.

6)Most ppl see change as a hurtful thing tat muz be done, instead of a helpful thing tat shld be done. Not all change is gd. Some changes r based on bad ideas. Others r self-serving to the ppl who enact them. But as someone once said:" We cannot become wat we nid to be by remaining wat we are."

Did u see urself in any of these six observations? If so, decide todae to change the way u tink abt change. Why is tis so impt? Bcoz when change is successful, u will look back at it and call it growth.

I hope tat the the 4th post will realli help my frens out there alot and enlighten them....bcoz in wat ever things we do, we muz always 1st weighs the pros and cons b4 executing something.... Thank you ^^"" Wahahaha!!!
