Do you agree that change is happening everywhere?

The traditional command and control mold allows a company to respond to plans under certain times. However, during times of change it requires you to evolve your thinking. Training of new leadership capabilities is necessary for managing change well. Emotional intelligence (EI) is encouraged for a more creative approach to change because it uses logic and feelings. EI is the ability to deal with relationships and meanings of emotions while applying reasoning in social interactions and problem solving. Real leaders are those who inspire and motivate others, create teamwork, and achieve results. Check out our March 1st newsletter for action steps and exercises on emotional intelligence.

The winning formula requires being open to the new opportunities of the present and future. When you change your thinking, you change your experience in the world. When you think differently, it improves your success and happiness. Success is not always about being in control but it is about being wise. The ability to embrace change and transform problems into opportunities allows you to be successful.

Dr. Karl Menninger said that the real challenge of adversity and suffering is that “the voice of intelligence is drowned out by the roar of fear”. The better you manage fear, the better that you manage the situation. Fear prevents you from moving forward with this challenge. Is the fear of rejection, speaking out, or failure? You should listen carefully to some of your fears because they carry wisdom but some are just fear. What fear is at the heart of the problem? Escaping your comfort zone is a mental game. Stepping out of your comfort zone is anything but business as usual. Check out our February 22nd newsletter for action steps and exercises on managing change.
