Change is Lonely

What this episode covers

Now may be a time for self-reflection, and to examine the many pathways that have merged to form our own unique journeys. Lee has been considering his own story as a change agent, specifically examining the sometimes loneliness of change and its implementation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being a change agent means that often we are the sole voice of innovation. It takes a certain mental fortitude, as it’s not always a happy place to be. Leaders of organisations often attribute stagnancy and failure to its people. They believe that things that have worked in the past should work always, and never need to be revolutionised. The only factors we can truly change are our perceptions about others, and our feelings towards our role and how we perform.  What can you do to challenge your own thinking? Are there angles you haven’t considered? Only by opening our minds to the wisdom of others can we approach challenges from a differing perspective. BEST MOMENTS ‘We can be the only person in that organisation pushing that boulder up a hill’ ‘You can only change the things you have direct control over’ ‘Concentrate on you first before anyone else' VALUABLE RESOURCES   Business Problems Solved Podcast   ABOUT THE HOST For the last 15 years, I have been a multi-sector internal or external business improvement consultant, building the improved capability of individuals, teams and businesses.
