If you think about the billions of training dollars that are spent each and every year by companies, education authorities, entrepreneurs and the likes, you would have to wonder why some agencies, some entrepreneurs, and some systems do so well, whilst others simply fade into the background under the weight of the failure stamp.

Enter most corporate buildings and you will see emblazoned in their foyers and on their confidence packs, their mission statement. They always look impressive, and they sound good, but are they really what the business is all about? Are these corporations really doing what they purport to be doing? Or are these mission statements simply sugar-coated front covers that serve as a substitute, perhaps even a pretense of action? Are the powers that be hoping that the warm words, publicly displayed, will boost productivity?

Why is there inaction when change is proposed? Is it because workers simply don't care, or is it that the packages are poorly delivered? Is resistance deliberate? Or is it purely a case of hard-wiring and resistance to new ways that is part of our human conditioning? Could change work more successfully perhaps if management worked in incremental, sequential steps that lead workers reassuringly and gently to the desired goal?

Think about the weight loss industry. It exists purely for change and growth but it thrives because of failure, not failure of the industry itself, but failure of the clients who keep the businesses afloat. You see if the industries were in fact successful, then their client base would drop off and we would have a nation of fit, healthy human beings.

So what is the problem? Why is there so much failure generally?

The answer is pretty clear to both problems. Just receiving the message and knowing its value, is not enough. We all know that if we want to be healthy, we must eat a given amount of fruit and vegetables every day. But how many of us actually do that?

You see as individuals we have to really want to make a change. There has to be a deep-seated desire to grow. At the same time, we also have to be willing to make some sacrifices along the way in order to do so.

Some of the most difficult things to change are entrenched habits. Change itself is just plain hard. It demands mental and physical energy. It requires courage. We need to spend quality time on it. It's an uphill battle and we have to be convinced that when we get to the top of the hill, the view on the other side is worth the effort. We also have to be convinced that taking a leap of faith into uncharted territory is better than the alternative of standing still. In other words, change has to be managed.

The trouble is, unless we truly believe in ourselves, unless we absolutely desire to get ahead, and unless we learn to unplug our fears, then nothing positive will happen. To embrace change we need to turn our thinking away from thoughts like, it won't work, it can't be done, to how can it work and how can we do it? Manage each of these steps well, and change will follow
