CHANGE OR DIE: Only, I think, there are two business / professional moments: At what point are you?…
Professional or business growth always comes hand in hand with adaptation to the environment, updating, decision-making + action, and simultaneously being surrounded by the best.
Constant resistance to change is a repetitive fact …….
Death usually comes from inaction, from believing that nothing changes, from constantly delaying decisions for when you have time, from the evolution of the adverse environment… etc, etc…
And the best professional business tool, summarize and join in word: "trust". Confidence in the Strategic Plan that I have, confidence in the Team that surrounds me including the supplier, the advisor and the employee, along with a confidence in the Vision of the adventure appropriate to the environment we have.
change-die-the-boiled-frog-change-management-1I remember a story, and maybe you know it ……
Suppose a frog in a saucepan, with cold water initially, on the fire…
At the moment, the frog does not give it any more attention, and simply nothing, and little else, and when soon after it begins to notice the warm water, it is even adapting to the situation. That is, it raises to normal what is NOT beginning to be normal ……
Parable of the Boiled Frog - Outline
When the temperature is already very high, it stuns the frog, which is unable to react, and when the water finally boils, it is no longer able to react and does not have the strength to get out of the pot.
This usually happens on many occasions, in companies and in professional activity, in which you come to accept that some changes in your environment do not have to modify your habitual behavior, until in the end, you have elevated what is happening to normal and bearable. My question is ……. Are they boiling you? ……. Don't wait… JUMP AND CHANGE.
Threats from abroad do not sometimes come from sudden events, but from gradual processes that we do not like to identify….. who lazily want to wait to make changes…
SOME QUESTIONS FOR THE CHANGE THAT COULD ASK ME:
- Do I have my business volumes and my margin measured and are they the ones that correspond? Do I know which ones correspond? The partners and collaborators (advisers, banks, suppliers, can mark a great employees), do they really support the difference ……… ”Company?
"… The mood, the attitude is something small, but it can make a big difference…" Winston Churchill
- Is there CONFIDENCE in each and every one of them? Do they cost me money or… create value for me? Do we communicate well to the market, and with credibility? Do I know how important the IMAGE I offer to the market is? I have a STRATEGIC PLAN agreed? Do I strongly support TRAINING, both in myself and in my collaborators? Can I slim down my structure more? Can I outsource things? Can I transform fixed expenses into variable expenses? Do I pay attention and have very clear MY ACCOUNTS?

Sadly, and on many occasions, I observe in meetings with companies, a “I HAVE TO” delayed for when I have time to think about it ………
