Chapter 33: Relentless

There’s nothing wrong with treating yourself well and rewarding yourself for a job well done, but change agents know the feeling will, should, and must be fleeting.  Would we like to have things move along nicely and grow as long as possible?  Sure!  There’s nothing wrong with settling in a bit, but not so much that you get lost in what’s working.

Change agents can’t get too comfortable in their success.  We must always be looking around, asking questions, and considering options and opportunities, both when things are going really poorly and when they’re going really well.  If we don’t, we risk becoming part of the problem by thinking this is the way we should do it from now on.
