In the age of digital disruption, winners x losers have the same goals!
So what sets them apart?
In times of change, those who are prepared to learn will inherit the land, while those who think they already know will find themselves wonderfully equipped to face a world that no longer exists.
Eric Hoffer
Winners build practices x #atomic habits, and their purpose is to continue building their practices to continue playing the game. People do not rise to the level of their goals, they fall to the level of their practices. Is learning an atomic habits of you x your team x your organization?
Any conversation about creating new results occurs within a context, a background of ongoing change. How we relate to change, how we orient ourselves toward change and the actions we take as these changes occur have everything to do with producing new results. Because of this, we need to take a look at the phenomenon of change.
Can we agree that we live in a time of relentless, ongoing change? How important is learning – for individuals, for organizations, for all of us for you now? What are the likely consequences for people who live within an environment of relentless change, and who ‘know all’, who don‘t need to learn? ...getting left behind, ...stagnating, ...difficult to succeed, tension & friction, ...not growing – not innovating, not being able to keep up, ...come obsolete or irrelevant, not been able to operate with agility.
Then how valuable is continues learning, against a background of relentless change for you now?
When facing none desired outcomes, when you don’t produce the desired outcomes,
which options do you have?
Do nothing. Assume the negative results were caused by factors outside our control x by ‘others’. Obviously, this is not a very powerful orientation yet a trendy one amongst the mediocre.
Tapping into your ‘reactive tendencies’: Change our actions, including how you speak x talk about the challenges at hand. This is usually included in our traditional problem-solving models and approaches.
And there also another last option … Tapping into your ‘creative [digital] capabilities‘. Change the way we look at things. This is the place where ‘great digital leaders x teams are born’ a place of truly transformational learning and of greatly expanding the possibilities for action.
SEE x MOVE x RUN
Can you win a race if you can't run? I’m curious to understand which challenges do you observe within yourself x your organization right now? Are you willing to address these and learn? And why does it matter to you?
Can you change what you can't see? I'm curious to hear what you SEE x what makes you MOVE becoming a RUNNER. Looking forward to hearing from you about how you ‘unleash’ the great coach within you over a zoom call with a good coffee?
