How to prevent change, growth and innovation
Seth Godin has given us a (perhaps all-too familiar) list of excuses entitled, “Top ways to defend the status quo.” We can read them and laugh a bit to ourselves, but they’re still painful to hear in real-life meetings, coming from the voices of real-life members of a firm’s ‘leadership’ team. Amongst the excuses:
- That will never work.
- Well, this might work for other people, but I think we’ll stick with what we’ve got.
- Well, if you had some real-world experience, then you would understand.
Check out the original post for the rest of the list. Hats off to the Canning Collaborative Learning Commons for bringing this to my attention.
A few I’d like to add to the original list:
- We’re waiting for the next big thing
- We’ll need to see that in a Power Point
- I like the idea, but I don’t think we have time to implement it
