Sailing Through Change

Dealing with change is like being a sailor fighting against the wind. If the wind’s against you, don’t push back; just shift your sails and go with it. Use what seems to be working against you to your advantage.

It’s kind of like zig-zagging in a sailboat to move against the wind. You’ve got to be flexible, quick on your feet, and smart enough to turn problems into opportunities. It’s never a straight path, and it’s rarely a breeze.

A good captain doesn’t fight the wind; they work with it. In the same way, a leader who’s managing change doesn’t wrestle with problems; she sees them coming and uses them to her advantage, steering the team where they need to go.

It takes guts to go against the wind, and the smarts to see change as something you can use, not just something in your way. That’s what moves us forward.

Change isn’t something to be scared of; it’s like the wind pushing us to new places. We just have to be wise enough to steer the right course.
