Humans are inertia to change, afraid of the lose of comfort zone, even knowing the change will lead to a more effectively, more efficient and more comfortable result. As a faithful follower of Peter Drunker, one should remember the meaning of management, with managing yourself as one of the key to success. No one can be a one minute manager or simply learn all the habits of the most efficient people, yet, we do know who moved our cheese, and we can learn to master some of the people skills that we are lack of. Self awareness, then implement the change either by using tools like gantt chart to assist a phrase to phrase implement plan or keep the bad habit by running a pilot implement plan, you will surprise how different one could become.
Maybe it shouldn't be a two sided things with the inner or outer, the most difficult is yet to master the balance between the two; feeling the details engraved in between the tiny surface area of the golden coins' head and toss.
Anyways, finding the right balance is just as hard as the stunt walk on a hanging string, the higher it is, the more difficult it becomes. The string tension remain unchanged horizontally, but the height changed the psychological expectation; ie vertically it gets more difficult. Not every stunt has a safety net at the bottom, some made a good arrangement between the management, some just expected a safety should be there, with countless feasibility in financial or operational decisions, if you do have a safety net, simply go ahead to take the risk, challenge yourself. This safety commitment, is not a blinding contract to be there to blind the management visually, but is a simply considerate and caring gesture to the stunt, beyond romance and drama, this management with all rounded investment, heavily for the, is the one to trust. In other word, no one should or could do this stunt on their own. It is simply a partnership as long as the show runs, built with love, sweats and tears. Go as high as the show require, yet to challenge your own skills and limit, me at the bottom with ensure the safety as safe as possible.
Back in my profitable organization, my venture partner and I share the internal and external responsibilities, I believe a proper organization structure, mission statement, and human capital control will lead to a higher successful rate. Same as the string walking stunt, if one side should be out for the risk, the other should be there to embrace the uncertain dangerous. It seems like one side is doing more, but think through a deeper measurement, both parties are working their best to achieve the same goal. While currently I'm facing some undergoing tweak in my life priority organization, it is indeed most difficult and painful process, to challenge my weakness; patient.
For working in an non-profit organization, we current mentality is more or less like trapping in the rat race crearted by the Rich Dad, just living paycheck by paycheck, constant business travel (without mileage!!) and fight the tolerance of a barbarian culture, without a piece of thick skin and my life priority organization back me up, I would simply collapse at any moment. Non-profit? I really don't care, this is hurting me.
Am I afraid of the change? Yes I'm inertia to that, I'm a human being too, while superman only appear in the life priority mode, but I know it will lead to what I expected, I too, need the warm affections and make my face blush, make my heart run slower and make me to stop having nightmares with a good night sleep, spooning you with my arms around you... the right side is always for you.
