How bendy are you?
- Are you flexible or rigid?
A couple of years ago I noticed that as the years were ticking by, I was becoming less and less flexible, physically. It started to get in the way of me enjoying myself and became dangerous. It was difficult to look both ways at a junction when I was riding my motorbike. So I decided that being bendy needed to be my #1 health goal. A couple of years on I am amazed at how much more flexible I have become through the regular application of fairly simple daily stretches and exercise.
Of course it is not only physical flexibility that we need to work on. Mental flexibility and thinking flexibility is essential for anyone who wants to perform at a decent level in this ever changing world of ours.
In 2018 Justin Trudeau said “The pace of change has never been this fast, but it will never be this slow again”. Unless we are changing at least as fast as the world is we are getting left behind. The leadership techniques that we learned from our leaders are not only out of date but they are probably useless.
Flexibility has to be one of the very top attributes for a 21st century leader. In any situation the person with the most flexibility will come out on top. What are you doing to improve your flexibility?
The prediction of Alvin Toffler, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.” is proving to be shockingly true
To do:
- Establish a regular and effective learning regime for yourself.
- Surround yourself with people who will challenge your thinking and stretch you.
- Get uncomfortable at least once a week, so you can get used to the discomfort of change.
