Are
you Evolving or Revolving your Business Today?
A common mistake that many professionals and many business
leaders create is in not really knowing the difference between evolving and
revolving. It may seem to be a very
simple differential, yet it is not.
Both evolving and revolving use physical, emotional and
mental energy to focus on something such as solving a common business problem
of talent challenges or leadership
dynamics or expanding market reach to name a few.
To keep it simple, imagine you have access to an all-day
commuter train tour and you invite everyone in your culture who contributes to your
business and marketing strategy, business development and talent management on
this ride. You plan on really connecting
to the heart of the matter by first connecting on this tour to help all of you
build up innovation. All of you are
scheduled to be together on this train for 2 weeks to really connect to
discover answers and solutions.
The conductor begins driving the train down the track.
The tour operator who is charge of communicating about the
sites begins sharing. All of you feel
enthused. As each hour passes you notice
that all of you hear the same message over and over. And you see the same sites over and
over. You and your team are feeling frustrated,
shortchanged and drained. You realize
you are on a revolving train tour that is spinning around the same circular
track and you are BORED. And now you
and your team spends your energy focusing and complaining about the problem. The train operator believes this is normal. It is okay that no one is happy because they
still are making a profit.
This hypothetical example is how many businesses make
decisions and justify circumstances.
To really evolve, means you and your team jump on the train. You are chugging down the track seeing new
landscape, learning new things and opening up your inner voice to articulate
new moves that lead you to actionable solutions. The mind of your business is expanded charged
with heightened motivation and enthusiasm. Your new way of thinking and
managing energy is taking your business to new terrains. You not only talk about the challenges that
your business faces, you delay procrastination and take immediate action to
step forward to heal the past, to stop muddling in the same mud puddles and clean your business up and organize the
mind of the business for maximized success.
I ASK YOU – Are you evolving or revolving your business
today?
Genuinely,
