<p>“Change before you have to” is a statement that emphasizes the proactive nature of change. It suggests that it's often advantageous or necessary to initiate change voluntarily rather than waiting until external forces or circumstances compel you to change. It promotes a mindset of foresight, resilience, and agility, encouraging individuals and organizations to embrace change as an opportunity for growth and improvement rather than merely a reaction to external pressures or crises. It is important to always anticipate change, explore and exploit it to your advantage and prepare yourself to pivot through change. </p><p>Over the years I have seen people fight change to their peril. In organizations we hear leaders and employees talk about change fatigue. Hear is a simple but direct advise to you, stop talking about change fatigue and start talking about developing the skills to be resilient through change. Since change will continue to accelerate and change has become the law of life, do yourself a big favor to learn resilience skills rather than fighting change. I used to talk about change fatigue until I became fatigued talking about it. I discovered that I was doing damage rather than supporting leaders and employees to successfully navigate change. When we prepare our minds, attitudes, to respond to change rather than react to it, our chances of being successful through the change increase. So, in short, let’s all learn to change before we have to. It’s a paradigm shift and a way of thinking.</p><p>Let’s learn to be comfortable with ambiguity and pivot with change. Have a fantastic week and see you at the summit of change champions.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

<p>Conformity is about adjusting your beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors to align with a group’s norms, expectations, or societal standards. It occurs due to a deep desire for acceptance, fear of rejection, or the belief that others are more knowledgeable. </p><p>Conformity is causing you to let go your personal values, belief, goals just to fit in. There is nothing wrong with conformity provided it is not causing you to do things that violate your personal beliefs and values.</p><p><br></p><p>What benefits are you getting from conformity? How is conformity impacting your growth and potential? In this Tansformation4Change podcast, I talk about why we conform, the benefits we derive from it and the dangers of conformity and how to move from conforming through courage. Have a great week.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>

<p>An Excerpt from Mastering Leadership: An Integrated Framework for Breakthrough Performance and Extraordinary Business Results, by Robert J. Anderson and William A. Adams (Wiley, 2015)</p><p><br></p><p>Protecting leadership centers on the belief that you can protect yourself and establish a sense of worth through withdrawal, remaining distant, hidden, aloof, cynical, superior, and/or rational. The Protecting dimension of leadership is comprised of three sub areas: Arrogance, Critical, and Distance. Each of these is strongly inversely correlated to all the creative dimensions of leadership.</p><p>Today, I complete the series on the limitations of reactive leadership.</p><p>Behaviors are the external expression of your internal assumptions. The general behaviors associated with protecting behaviors include holding back and watching how situations unfold, identifying what is wrong, illogical, or lacking in plans, seeing the flaws in others’ thinking, speaking, and actions, analyzing what is right and what is wrong.</p><p>Protecting leadership tendency suggests that you tend to keep yourself safe by acting aloof and maintaining distance in your relationships. You also hold back from the risks that might come from fully deploying your creative abilities. Safety means being above it all. This stance can come from an inner lack of confidence, self-doubt, inferiority, or its opposite, superiority. It may well be that you project an air of superiority, needing to be right, find fault, and put others down as a strategy to build yourself up. The need to build yourself up may spring from feelings of self-doubt and vulnerability. </p><p><br></p><p>Protecting is an internal set of assumptions that link security with distance, and worth with either being small and uninvolved or big and superior.</p><p><br></p><p>As you listen to this final episode of reactive leadership, reflect on whether you have a leadership tendency to be arrogant, critical or distant and do something about it because it will limit your leadership capacity to deliver results. </p><p><br></p><p>Thank you for coming on this journey with me on unpacking the significance of creative leadership and the limitations of reactive leadership. Have a fantastic week.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
