Transition

#Beingaleader means you have to work through transition. Transition is inevitable in some form or another. But you have to work through it when it happens so that the end result is better than where you started. In other words, while transition is inevitable, successful transition is not.

Transition is about the process of change. From one state to another. From one phase to another. From one person to another. The point of transition is to go from one place to another. Sometimes, from worse to bad. Sometimes, from bad to good. Sometimes, from good to better. But in every case, transition is change and how you deal with it impacts everything you do.

#Beingaleader means that you need to use the transition to accomplish your goals. Even if your goals have changed in that process. The inevitability of transition is real for everyone. It’s just that most people don’t see it until reality smacks them in the face. Usually at an inconvenient time. You can’t always choose the transition but #beingaleader is about responding appropriately when it comes.

Whether it’s retirement, reduction in force, new position in a different department, or starting your own business, transition is either here or it will come at some point. I’m not convinced that you can prepare for transition since you won’t know what kind of transition is coming, but you can prepare for the reality that you are always changing and sometimes change happens to you without warning. What you can prepare for is who you are and how you will respond. Don’t let it crush you. #Beingaleader means you realize it’s coming and you remain steady throughout.

#Beingaleader means you have to work through transition. Be prepared to handle the challenge and create a better you.
