Change leads to Change

As a leader you have to be willing to adapt and accept change. At the same time you also have to be an advocate to change. If you are not willing to change than you can not expect results to change over time. The best leaders in the world think about not only what went well but why did it go so well. If things did not go well, why? What can we do to change so it does not happen again.

So many times businesses are so consumed with what is going on today they do not take time to reflect on the past or dream about the future. If change does not occur it is likely you will fail behind the market and competition will grow. The leaders who are willing to change and adapt will be ahead of this curve while other will fail behind very quickly.

The question I would ask any organization is, "where are you going and how are you going to get there?" If the leader say we are going to maintain our current model I would question how long will this last? Leaders have to identify what needs to be changed and then make the changes necessary.
