The 6 Most Dangerous Words

As a consultant, I shudder when I ask a client why they did something a certain way and they reply with, “That’s how we’ve always done it.” Fortunately, in most situations, the response came from a lack of realization that there could be a better way. Although, especially at larger organizations, such behavior can stem from a history of discouragement or outright laziness. 

Growth, improvement and evolution require change. Regardless of where you work or what you do:

• Ask why! 

• Challenge the status quo! 

• Test new ideas and behaviors!
