Each and every single corporate executive, despite all the brilliance and skills, at some point becomes outdated, some sooner, some later. Throughout the world, every major transformational cycle outdates entire workforces or even nations. During the last 100 years, this has happened many times. It has happened before, but not at the hyper-accelerated pace that is happening today.
Why not turn any lingering incompetency into your tango dance partner and teach them new steps;
it is time to re-learn if you want to stay on the dance floor. With the desire to meet the challenges of tomorrow, you can enjoy the spotlight rather than trip all over or even worst finding yourself outside the dance hall altogether.
Check these FIVE signs to see if you are already getting outdated
You have stopped talking and debating your new ideas and have stopped listening to new ideas of others.
You have difficulty grasping the contents in meeting and do not question where these contents might go
You feel others are watching you sideways and you are fearful of what that may mean.
You feel overly stressed for no reason and cannot see ways to eliminate that stress.
You become increasingly busy with little or no progress and you are comfortable with an overly busy established routine that leads nowhere.
These FIVE methods will make you a star on the dance floor:
Eliminate 50% of your work, relax and the sky will not fall. Your work may be already too outdated anyway.
Start a deep thinking process to improve your craft and rediscover your new core competencies.
Start a re-learning process that will lead to a new point of view; do not compete with technology; welcome it with open arms and support it
Success sometimes doesn't require absolute mastery but it does very often require you to become a master of ceremonies on collaborative synthesizim, lead the dance and lead the party
Start a daily challenging discussion; debate and lead in meetings; start entrepreneurial ways of thinking and doing things
Dance all the time; don’t just get outdated.
Business is a dance, collaborative synthesizim is a dance party, just re-learn the steps and begin moving across the floor with the ease and grace like a pro. Hear and feel the beauty of Tango Incompetencia
