The world is better when you're willing to try new things. Case in point? Pizza. We all have that friend who refuses to eat anything but thin-crust cheese pizza. On the other hand, someone who’s willing to try, let’s say, Chicago deep-dish with Italian sausage, pineapple and garlic is open to a whole new culinary world of possibilities.
Learning how to embrace change serves everyone well, whether it’s pizza toppings or how things are done in your company. Organizations that are nimble can act quickly and appropriately in the face of change. Only the most adaptable teams will weather the storm and come out stronger after the pandemic is over.
Flex or Fail
Speaking of change, our “new normal” has come with a lot of “new” things like working from home, programs and systems, processes and dynamics. Many businesses are noticing that these new approaches are actually more efficient and productive than the old ways. It’s the dawn of the age of the remote worker.
If everyone was content with cheese pizza and no one tried new toppings, we wouldn’t have all the varieties we have today. The global pandemic may not have been our choice, but how organizations handle the ensuing shift will determine how they move forward into the future.
Those that continue to be rigid, doing business as they did before, will ultimately fail. But that’s not you, right? You are open to finding a way forward, even if it’s like no path you’ve taken before. You’re willing to try new things, new flavors, if you will, so that your company not only succeeds but also thrives in spite of the situation.
Fare Better by Being Adaptable
Pizza didn’t start out as Chicago-style deep-dish. Pizzeria Uno had to adapt it to that back in 1943. Ike Sewell was unsatisfied with the status quo of boring cheese and decided to experiment. Maybe there were failures along the way. You’ve got to be brave and try new things, sometimes missing the mark, before something better surfaces. The end result is that pizza, as we know it today, is better for it.
It looks like the days of going into the office, as we knew them, are over. This has accelerated the digital transformation of many companies and necessitated quick thinking and flexibility of employees. But how much attention have you put on what specifically needs to adapt to our new reality? Sometimes it’s just a matter of having a guiding hand to help you know how to thrive during this pandemic.
