It does remind me that the necessary result of, say, an impending recession (like that will ever happen...) is re-evaluation of purpose and direction. If you are unable to innovate and stay relevant, then you fail. It's a pity that we don't maintain this mindset when things are going well. Very insightful post, Chris.

They have long since stopped thinking, responding, understanding, questioning and interpreting. They can’t improvise to save their lives. What we need are critical thinkers. We need innovators. We need improvisers. We need fearless visionaries. We need business leaders. Our current crises will not be solved by trying to reconstruct the old paradigms and by reciting the same script on PowerPoint.

"I'll do this." "I'll do that." "I'll lose weight." "I'll change my ways." Yeah... It's nice. By mid-February, all that talk of change is completely gone. Fact: Most people won't make any changes in 2009, no matter how certain they are of the opposite right now. No matter how great an idea, there will always be an excuse why it can't be done, a reason why it shouldn't be done, or a tomorrow when maybe they'll get to it. Those of us who embrace change don't really have that problem... but we still have to live in a world populated with people who only TALK about change. Anyone who wants to have an amazing 2009, come on board. Hop on our train. There's room. Everyone else... well, I guess we'll see you next year.

I just wrote my first ebook and have gotten great response. It somehow landed in the hands of my very first assistant news director in Cleveland who e-mailed me about it today. And someone blogged about it yesterday. The biggest thing I'm doing and will continue doing is working to always be more than "Angela who works for Company X." I need and have created an identity outside of that. So while i will always kick butt and take names at my paying job, I am committed to doing some of that for myself as well. 2009 will be the year I wirk this plan like never before.
