Change + Stability

as i have said many times, we live in a word of change -- constant change, every day of our lives

as a business leader we experience that change every day in every market and across ever customer segment.  we often talk about building companies that not only adapt to the change, but learn to anticipate it and to capitalize upon it

so we are all very aware of change, but we often forget about stability; the stability that forms the platform, the strength and the energy to support all of that change

without stability we cannot live with, adapt, nor capitalize upon change.  so where does that stability come from?

it comes from strong, convincing, open leadership
it comes from a corporate mission which is consistent, clear, and well understood by every professional in the company
it comes from values; corporate values that become an everyday way of thinking, life, and operation
it comes from customer delivery of products and services that exceed expected standards each and every time

so stability and change are yin/yang; very different, but both very necessary

want your professionals to always out-perform in a turbulent and ever change world -- give them stability -- and no that is not a contradiction in terms
