If you’re in a leadership position, one of the easiest patterns to fall into is working in past processes. In the short term, this is typically an acceptable practice. In the long term, it can be career suicide. If you’re someone who is stuck in the past, there are ways to overcome any resistance you have toward the modern workplace, how people need to work, how to better interpret data or accepting new technologies and the impact on your work. Most of us are raised thinking it is all right to be resistant to change. We hear adages such as:
- Past behavior or performance determines future performance.
- Slow and steady wins the race.
