Paradigm Shift

To change your circumstances in life you need a paradigm shift. You need to move from your old way of thinking and doing  things. Thinking comes before doing, so you need a renewal of your thinking; a renewal of your mind and thoughts. A renewal means not putting a band-aid on bad thinking. It has to come from the inside- out and not from the outside- in. If it is outside- in thinking then we call this putting new wine in old wine skins. The new wine is not going to be preserved properly. It’s is going to be of new use. It is going to spoil.

As a leader you need to move from where you are if you need to change. Steven Covey says you cannot mix your leadership styles and approaches. It compounds your problems, because you have the look of what you should be or act the way you should but “fundamentally” your style is unchanged. He says you are now a wolf in sheep clothing.
