Why is change so hard to accomplish?

There’s no question, change is tough. We’re taught to behave a certain way from birth by our parents, school and society. We are rewarded for doing what we are told, for coming up with creative solutions to problems quickly and for standing out from the rest. As adults, we carry these lessons through to our careers and quickly realize that the organizational structures we enter have similar reward systems. So guess what?

We get promoted to leadership and continue to think and act in the same old way. We can’t help ourselves.

This culture is at the heart of what leads to a cycle of recurring problems. We call it “The CEO’s Cycle of Hell”. More >
