Meditations On Leadership
These are my thoughts on leadership related topics and ideas. It is meant to be a sort of journal for me and if you find it useful than I am happy to have helped.
“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” ― Albert Einstein ![]() Imagine you are a football coach and you have successfully coached your team to the championship game. You have spent hours and hours perfecting plays and creating a play book that is so good that it just works. The team all knows the plays and you have spent all the time that you needed to watching tapes and preparing for this game. The game begins and everything is going well. You are controlling the game and it looks to be a downhill ride to being the champions. Half-time rolls around and your team is up 14 to 3 and you head off to the locker room to give you team a pep talk. Half-time ends and you head out to the field only to find that while you were talking to your players the officials swapped out the entire football field for a baseball field and you now are expected to play the second half of your championship game following the rules of baseball rather than football. What would you do? Would you keep your playbook and tell your players to go out there and line up? Would you just try to play the game the same way because that is how you have always done it? This is an unlikely story in the world of sports but this is exactly what happens in business. The rules of the "game" are constantly being rewritten and yet so many people want to play by the rules that used to work. Don't just play the way you always have. Make sure you constantly seek to understand the rules of the game and adjust your gameplay to match the game. Leadership lessonThe rules of business are always changing. You must change and adapt to them. Change is constant so you must constantly change.
