It has been a long while since I updated my blog. Things have been extreme for me for some time now. Changes at work, new initiatives with my-kart, business planning etc.
This Merdeka Day break is good. Just need to free myself from all the work and priorities and reflect for a short while. No doubt i shall be soon doing a bit of work… but let me for a short while sip some virtual tea with you.
I am going through and responsible for putting through some changes at work. This is a huge challenge for me, as change is one thing that many people fear the most. It is often so easy to do the same things we do for the longest time we can remember. But every once in a while things start to change and sometimes we tend not to be ready for it.
People often say that the only thing that stays constant is change. Hmph… easier said than done.
Yet, I am responsible to drive this change. I believe that change is good, but how do I deal with the resistance? How do I deal with the years of stability and predictability? I can see many obvious areas needing change, but this is not a matter for just turning the dial or switch and voila! No. There are no switches and remote controls.
The undercurrent that is resisting change are feelings of fear, uncertainty, resentment, comfort… I will have to deal with each of this. But do I provoke it with more fear? Do I sooth and comfort these feelings and say that everything is ok?
I have been watching House MD season 2 recently, and like Dr House, there are times that I feel I have to tell the patient that “you are going to die, so we need to do some radical procedures”. Yeah. You could probably excuse Dr House’s poor bedside manner because (a) he is fictional, (b) he is genius.
Where do I go from here?
