No change given

Managing the business of change for business people is never going to go away. It is as if we all construct our own mental map of the world and then try to stick to it come what may.

There are some things we fight tooth and nail to keep the same even though we know that change is inevitable – like ageing. There are some things that we are totally indifferent to, irrespective of the change we can see and hear and feel right in front of our noses.

And then there are things we fight tooth and nail to change even though the outcome is uncertain and the odds against our success appear insurmountable.

So there seem to be three types of change battling remorselessly against three eternal truths, things that never change, like honesty, trust and excellence.

And the struggle between the three types of change and the three eternal truths will never be won.

And that is because there are nine billion maps of the world.
