For the past 200 years our world has been facing a
"Crisis of Modernity". A crisis of stress.The Industrial Age was followed by the Information Age and, lets
face it folks, the Electronic Age has made that seem like kids
stuff.As fast as we adjust to new circumstances they change again.And, the rate of change seems to multiply like a rabbit on
Viagra!The instant availability of information on virtually any subject
has destroyed our ability to pause, analyze and look for
alternatives.Most of the stress experienced by twenty first century
leadership, may come from dealing with change.We desperately need stress relief.For stress reduction today many people use a stress ball and, while
it may help, there is a better answer.To be a change agent today you need to be an aggressive forward
thinker.And, you have to be a change agent!The only way to stay ahead of change is to get behind it! Those
who promote change are in charge of it, those who oppose it are
overwhelmed by it!Those who must be dragged kicking and screaming into the next
set of changed circumstances will be crushed. Stress anxiety can
be a killer"In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the
stream always wins - not through strength but by perseverance."
(Author H. Jackson Brown)When we determine to become advocates for change we suddenly
find ourselves in the position of pusher rather than pushee (we
become the stream).We are more relaxed, more self confident, more self assured and
we find that others are more willing to follow our lead.Peter F. Drucker summed it up this way, "The best way to predict
the future is to create it."It's also the easier way! If you believe you can hold back the
snowball of progress, you are doomed to be swallowed up in
something over which you can never hope to have any control.By being a change agent you won't just cope with this epidemic,
you'll turn it into a dynamic force for personal and corporate
growth.Len McNallyLen McNally has been involved in people development, self help and coaching for many years. To learn more visit stress relief, stress ball and stress anxiety today
