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.

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