Ever feel like things will never Change?

If you work in a large organization, like I do, you may sometimes wonder if Change will EVER occur.

There are basically two main areas that need to be influenced in order to effect Change:

1. Things outside your circle of influence and
2. Things INSIDE your circle of influence.

One area you can’t control, the other area you have TOTAL control. So let’s focus on what you CAN control.

Things inside your Circle of Influence:

• Your Attitude (Learn more on how to Look at Your Job)
• Your Time (More on this…coming soon…)
• Your Behavior
• Your Perspective (Learn more on Leadership Perspectives)
• Your Beliefs
• Your Actions
• Your Schedule
• Your Goals
• Your Boss (Learn more on how to Control Your Boss)
• Your Team or Direct Reports…

The list could go on and on. As you review the above list, you may start asking yourself, If these are all things I CAN change, then what CAN’T I change.

Good question.

Actually, there are probably portions of each of the above, that you can’t control. But I would argue, if you work at it, I believe you can control MUCH MORE then you currently do now.

I believe, we WILL CHANGE, when one of these three things occur:

1. Hurt enough, or so much you HAVE to
2. Learn enough, or so much you WANT to
3. Receive enough, or so much you NEED to
