“The Power of Leadership”

Imagine the average workplace of 1900 – a place without the Internet, without computers of any kind, with calculators, without even electricity in many places. When people look back on 2004, what tools will they marvel that we functioned without? What devices will become commonplace that nobody has yet even imagined?

Those who are most capable of dealing with the future and the changes it holds are those who do not fear change and who practice flexibility. Your job will not be the same in twenty years no matter what it is like today. But that doesn’t mean you won’t excel in the future. It just means you need to embrace innovation because those who fail to do so will not stay on top.

Research on employees who experienced layoffs that had nothing to do with their job performance found that flexibility, a willingness to try new tasks and learn new skills, was the single best predictor of how long people stayed unemployed.

“If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten.” – Paul J. Meyer
