January 11, 2017, TGIW: Unhumping Hump Day…Self-Change Leadership

“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.” –Niccolo Machiavelli

The New Year resolutions/goals/intentions/declarations/ideas/musings have now had over a week to transform our lives!

And by now, many have already been dropped.

The grand plans and visions can often be a drug-producing magical high and yet, when the rubber hits the road, many a beautiful intention ends up in the ditch.

For many, it’s easier when some institution or corporate change-management official determines that things will be done differently and we must comply.  We may moan and groan, and yet — with something critical on the line (like our job)– we do or die.

Yet, taking that change-management leadership into our own hands — being both the stalwart of possibility while, at the same time, the comfort-zone addicted rebel — can be a fascinating process to observe.

Awareness. Authenticity. Acceptance. Absence Analysis. Activation.

Engaging in this 5A process on an earnest and regular basis can provide access to keeping those high-minded intentions on the road to real Self change.

Got self-change leadership?

“Consider that all accomplishment is constituted by a series of resolved breakdowns. ” –Werner Erhard
