Tight Rope Walking

If you are involved in a scenario where people have to work together you have probably seen the difficult balance there is between continuity and change. You never want to do something that is going to totally disrupt the smooth, steady flow of life in your organization. Yet, sometimes there is a part of that steady flow that is killing a segment of the group. That is where the tight rope walk begins. You know that suggesting change is always a tough proposition. You know that implementing change for the benefit of part of the organization will bring tension in other parts. You also know that the failure to do something other than that which is already being done will cause the ineffective segment to continue in it's downward spiral. It is necessary to act but the action must be taken with care. Reckless innovation will cause more problems than it solves. Watching failure continue from a paralyzed position does not help either. When you know something else needs to be done, select the right alternative and then apply it with great care. Have a great day making sure you keep your balance!
