Sometimes People Just Don't Want To Change!
Have you come across this? You want people to change, you want systems to change, but people, they do not want to. They just want to fall back on their old ways. It is nothing about me in it. How…
Have you come across this? You want people to change, you want systems to change, but people, they do not want to. They just want to fall back on their old ways.
It is nothing about me in it. How much ever I want people, systems, processes to be upgraded, people are not ready inherently.
Maybe this is in built within us. May be we are scared to be open about things around us. Maybe we want to be in our shell. Maybe we are too comfortable.
I think it has a lot to do with upbringing. You can have people who are ready to try new things and you would have people who want to go with the proven path.
I consider myself into the former ones. Somone who is ready to be creative and embrace newer changes.
You feel very attached to this organisation. To keep up with the latest times, you created something that would have given people a great way to interact with the organisation. A fresh perspective. It would have also eased your work.
But one thing that came in your way. Your enthusiasm and energy. No one could have matched that kind of energy and enthusiasm
Result, you feel disconnected. This just reminds me how leadership can actually make or break things.
And this led to a beautiful learning for me. If someone cannot keep up the pace with you, you gratefully accept it and move away from it for it will slow down your speed.
This happens with clients too. You get too involved with everything, more than the client himself is in his/her own business. And if you get too attached, that is a sure sign of stress. Because people will act according to what they feel is right and it may not be same as your right.
So hold on. Stay detached with the outcome. Stay detached with the organisation. Those will come and go. What remains is the beautiful memories you create. The positives that you will remember about people and hopefully, they would about you.
