In nature, everything happens in cycles.??
The leaves of trees change colour in autumn, before falling in winter.?
After surviving the cold, the gradual warming and lengthening of days promote new growth in spring, before finally revealing new sets of leaves with the arrival of summer, and so the cycle continues...
In our daily lives we consider the passage of time as linear.?
However nature shows us that all aspects of our lives follow a natural ebb and flow, from the state of economy, realty and share markets to the organisations we work for and even our personal life.
Understanding this natural process and?the phases of the cycle can help you realise that the set of skills and behaviours that worked for you in the past will not necessarily work for you moving forward.?
Realising your position in the natural cycle can be very useful to navigate and determine your best course of action.
Phase 1: The rise of the superstar
You’ve just been hired to take on a new role based on a unique talent or technical skill that has resulted in outstanding success in your previous role.
Little effort at the beginning brings great rewards quickly as you capitalise on the skills and talents that have done you well in the past.?
However, your current rate of success can’t last forever.
There comes a time when the skills you were hired for are exhausted and you hit a plateau that we refer to as your ‘moment of truth’.
Phase Two: Your moment of truth
Regardless of the effort put in, the gains do not come as easily as they did before.?
With a lack of progress, motivation is the first thing to be lost.
It is at this point that you realise that the skills that brought you up to this point are not the same skills that will allow you to climb out of the hole.?
It’s becoming increasingly apparent that a new set of skills must now be developed.?
The breakthrough comes when you realise that the best way forward is to leverage the skills of people around you rather than trying to rely solely on your own skills and talents – the ones that brought you here.
Phase Three: Rise to greatness
This stage reflects an investment of time and energy into learning new skills and developing strategic partnerships.
The initial stage of Phase 3 can be difficult and frustrating as it appears that your efforts bring little reward.?
But just as the leaves re-emerge each spring, your efforts will be rewarded in due course.

Whenever we sow the seeds to make a major change in our lives, patience is needed to give the seeds time to germinate, start to grow and flourish.
During this time persistent nurturing is needed to ensure the seeds eventually do flourish.
Without the nurturing, there will be no rise to greatness.
After Phase 3 you find yourself back at Phase 1, and so the cycle continues.
It is important to reflect on your current position and to identify when it is possible to take a ‘leap of faith’.?
Although it may appear counter-productive to abandon current successful practices, it is precisely at this time that you should seek to make the biggest changes.
Remember that, by following current practice, the turning tides are inevitable.?
It is best to capitalise on innovation when you are in a position of strength and control, rather than allowing the market to dictate your terms for you.?
