Like many of you reading this, you are probably an innovation leader that takes unconditional responsibility for making a difference & changing the world – you must have decided that it’s time – its time to start something new – its time to figure out “what’s” next for you – your company, your department, and your family. The majority of leaders responsible for change are in one of these 5 tension filled mindsets:

1) I AM COMMITTED TO “NEXT” – I WILL THRIVE: You’ve decided that you’re ready to carry the torch all the way – even by yourself if necessary….
2) ME + MY TEAM (WE) ARE COMMITTED TO “NEXT” – committed to thriving together. You’re beyond the individual commitment stage and you’ve decided that now its time to prepare and empower the team of people that are going to carry the torch beyond where you could take it alone…
3) I AM LOOKING FOR A SHORTCUT – You’re looking for a reliable, linear, safe, intuitive, rational, easy answer for predicting what’s next and a simple path for how to get to what’s next….
4) I WANT MORE INFORMATION FIRST – You’re looking for more proof/certainty that now IS the time – You might be unaware that you’re actually stalling.
5) I AM PROTECTING US FROM UNCERTAINTY – THE STATUS QUO IS SAFER: Or maybe you’re reading this to confirm your bias that there is NOT enough proof – your world doesn’t really have to change yet (there’s still plenty of time) & therefore you don’t have to do anything drastic right now….nothing extreme yet….”yesterday was difficult enough….maybe things will settle down for a little bit?….maybe now is NOT the time for something new?”

READY OR NOT NOW IS THE TIME & people are counting on you/me to lead them differently. I don’t need more information I need transformation.
