Be careful of the trend

When I saw this cartoon on my flight back from China last week, I couldn't stop laughing. It reminded me how easy it is to be blind to the disruptions that are happening all around us.

How is it that we can't see the changes happening?  Because it requires that we admit that we missed something and that others are exerting change upon us. Not a comfortable position for executives to find themselves in.  In the case of the change portrayed in the cartoon, I may have to write a book someday.

In my experience, its better to be the leader when it comes to creating the future.
