The ‘Old’ New National Anthem

Meaningful and enduring change can only come from the mind; a change or tweaking of mindset. The way you see things. The way you see yourself. And what you perceive your role to be in the grand scheme of things. That is why one of the most reliable predictors of success – whether as a family, as an organisation or even as a nation – is how well you, as a leader are able to sell your vision to everybody else. Have you been able to convince those you lead, that your goals are the same? Do they see it resulting in them living their best life? Do they see themselves as people who have a stake in the project? Only a mad man will use his own hands to burn his house down. There’s been a lot of hue and cry lately about the ‘new’ old national anthem, or is it the ‘old’ new anthem? Feel free to take your pick. I must confess however that I was not one of those who thought it was the most pressing matter at hand for our nation. Still, I do know one thing. If positive and lasting change will come, it must start from the mind. Once your mindset changes, so will your attitude, followed by your actions.
