To make change happen you need to challenge the status quo. To do so can often feel deviant. Understanding that allows you to take control, and confront gaps in your change capability.
Embrace the imposter
If you are doing something new, you will likely feel like you don’t know what you are doing. That’s natural, and to be embraced. Not medicalised and turned into a syndrome.
Be an artist
Artists act as a mirror to the society in which they work. To deliver change we often need to adopt a similar approach, allowing those around us to see what they need to do to allow change to happen. But artists aren’t supposed to be in organisations.
Make time for play
If you are cursed by busy-ness, you won’t find the time you need to play, to experiment, to think. We need to break out of the trap of firefighting and consciously make time to explore the new.
Be happy being childlike
Many people find it deeply disconcerting to really have fun at work, let alone to do things that they may well feel are un-worklike. Being childlike isn’t the same as being childish.
Disrupt yourself
If you are expecting others around you to do things differently you need to know what that feels like yourself. Unless you are making conscious choices to change how you do things and what things you do, why should anyone else follow your lead?
