Leadership Insight and Paradigm Shift.... ...Knowing when to shift.

An old story has a husband asking his wife, “Honey, why do you cut off the ends of a roast before you cook it?”

“Because my mother did it that way,” she responded with a smile.

Curious, the husband called the wife’s mother and asked her the same question. When she gave an identical answer, he called his wife’s grandmother. The moment the elderly matron heard the question she laughed and said, “I don’t know why they cut off the ends of the roast, but I did it that way because a full roast wouldn’t fit in my pan.”

That story illustrates how most practices are initiated to serve a purpose. But over time, even the best practice can lose its usefulness. It takes a wise leader to know when to change something. It takes insight to recognize when it’s time for innovation.

Often as leaders, we need to have time to reflect on change; scenario analysis and planning to stay abreast of the industry. Like I said and I am quoting myself again; "I don't wait for brighter future, I simply create the desired future" @ayoadegboye
