Brian Solis asked us to steal this book he created, so I am. Here’s a short excerpt:
Before we say or let anyone else say that change isn’t in the job description, that “it’s not my
job,” there is no turning back. Someone must lead change. Someone must be the hero.
This is where you come in…
Change is you. Change is because of you.
This is a time when we must question everything.
This is a time when we must learn.
This is the time to experience new experiences, to design new experiences.hangeThis | 103.02
Innovation begins here. Innovation begins with you.
You are the change agent. You will help influence an uprising that overturns the prevailing
culture of management into that of leadership and innovation.
It’s not easy, but it’s within your ability and reach.
It takes courage to do what others will not.
It takes vision to see what others can’t.
It takes empathy to feel what others experience.
It takes persistence to overcome resistance.
It takes patience to allow the time necessary for your work to bloom.
In the end, it takes you.
Where you are and where you need to be is separated only by your vision and also
your actions and words.
Savor this moment. And then do something about it.
