The Times They Are A-Changing

I’ve mentioned Tom Peters before.
But this is my blog, so if I want to mention him again then I will.
That’s empowerment for you.
Anyway, Tom’s the one who believes that "If you don't like change you are in the wrong industry, whatever industry you're in."
Hard to argue with that kind of logic.
When it comes to change, you have two choices.
Run and hide under your desk.
Or embrace it, and the opportunities it presents.
The key is to manage change through effective communication.
Of course, you could always bitch and moan about the way things used to be.
Then maybe you could smash up a Spinning Jenny with the rest of the Luddites.
Face facts.
Those days are gone.
And unlike flares and lava lamps, they won’t be coming back.
So, to recap.
Change is inevitable.
Unless you’re using a vending machine.
