"Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted."Martin Luther King Jr. Human beings are extremely comfortable with keeping things the same old way. It becomes a trademark, a badge of honor to wear proudly.
With the onslaught of technology we see where leaders are being challenged to go beyond the usual, the regular, the maintenance... we have coined a phrase,"if it isn't broke don't fix it." This has become the mantra of most leaders to their detriment and the detriment of their organizations, their countries. Well we have a new phrase for you today, "if it can improve, improve it." Can you imagine if we were satisfied with the fan, ceiling fan. We would not have air conditioning, by the way, the fan still works. Can you imagine if we were satisfied with the "out house" we would not have the bathroom today, by the way, the out house still works.
The key to the future is tied to being creatively motivated by why not!!! Leaders who keep things the way they met things are not really leaders, they should be called managers. Managers keep things just as they are, when opening a new account we make six copies, why? because that how it was when I came and by George that's how am going to leave it!!!
Persons who need the approval of others will never venture beyond the shore. True leaders are confident and self assured so that they do not need the approval of others. This means then that you must be different, and oh boy watch out! why? because people will do everything in their power to disapprove, to maintain the status quo.
Dare to be different, dare to allow the creative juices to flow, dare to swim up stream while others are going down stream. Be joyous in your differentiation and do not allow others to stifle your creative flow. In the end they will respect you but may not like you. No wonder why they hated Jesus, he was different, he was radical he was victorious. You can be victorious as well.
