Wanted-VP of Common Sense |

An article published in Fast Company magazine reported that people typically don't complain about working hard. They complain about having to do things that prove to be unproductive.
But when a nonproductive practice is questioned, managers often reason that it has worked before…right?
It seems safer to keep doing what's always been done. And folks figure they're more likely to be punished for trying something new and failing than for doing what they've always done… and failing.
Of course, that feeling of safety is illusory. As our industries and our customers' expectations evolve (one usually slower than the other), change is not the enemy. It's the key to survival and prosperity.
Changing tactics for the sake of change isn't good. But neither is doubling-down on strategies and tactics that aren't producing results anymore.
Resolve in the second quarter to be your own VP of Common Sense and identify which practices need to be implemented, which ones need to be refined and which ones just need to go.
