Me by Another Name
Throughout our careers, we now face the prospect of changing jobs or even organisations more often than previous generations. The age-old question we then ask ourselves at the time of career transition is – can I really change or adapt to a different environment? In this article Steve Bernardexploresthis topic to uncover the truth behind whether leaders can really adapt while remaining true to themselves.
Insightful article Steve,
Agree you certainly learn about yourself going through personal change- are your tried and tested techniques, developed over years as effective in a new environment? can you build a reliable network fast enough to get things done? Crucially can you ‘learn the business’ whilst simultaneously doing a decent job of ‘running the business’?
From a leadership perspective gaining an enhanced (and current) appreciation of the sheer discomfort and stress of “adaptation” can only help us support our teams through change- comfortable on your lily pad? Maybe its time to seek out some scorpions!
