Knowing how to change won’t get you very far. It’s the acting on what you know that unlocks the benefits. This requires overcoming fear of the unknown, adjusting how you think and behave, being open to new possibilities, and working within imperfect conditions.

Everything old
is not necessarily
new again

Many people believe change management (substitute your profession) theories are as relevant today as they were when they were created decades ago.

What are you really good at?

Most business lessons learned apply equally to organizations and the individuals who manage them. A case in point is Harry Kraemer’s overview of why most acquisitions fail. His first reason (the first 4 minutes) is the best lesson for us all: focus on what you are good at. As this clinical professor at Kellogg states, it’s easy to spend our time on “I could do that too” activities. I am guilty as charged!
