Читать книгу The Art of Change Leadership - Cheryl Cran - Страница 10

I know it's an obvious question, and yet, is it?

You may already inherently know that you are responsible for leading change, you are the one reading this book, you are the one who is a leader either with the title or without the title in your workplace. It is my philosophy that everyone is a leader! Being a leader of change is very different than being a reactor to change. One drives success forward, the other resists the fast pace of change and slows down progress. Do me a favor and right now pick up a pen or use your personal device with a writing app and write your name using your opposite hand. Now, if you are ambidextrous, you have an advantage, but must of us are not. Notice that the writing is not as legible, smooth, or pretty as when you write with your dominant hand? Why?

Because we use our dominant hand to write, writing with our dominant hand has become an unconscious competency we just do. This is how many people respond to change: he or she has a way of reacting to change and that way either creates progress or it hinders it.

If you were to practice writing with your nondominant hand for about 30 to 90 days, you would be able to write more competently with your opposite hand and you would be able to increase your skill set to write with either hand you chose to use. The same is true for change.
