Sometimes
revolution or disruptive
transformation is demanded, but normally
evolutionary change is more effective and sustainable. And
always any radical change should be followed by relentless
continuous improvement.
Yang forces are
proactive and fast moving.
Yin forces are
adaptive and slow moving.
Yin-Yang Intelligence is about knowing how to make
the universal forces of creative
Yang and adaptive Yin
waltz up as a harmonious
whole towards a daring vision or
a
stretch goal.
Evolutionary
change is relatively
painless. However, it is rarely fast enough or comprehensive enough to move
ahead of the curve in an evolving world where stakes are high, and the
response time is short. When faced with market-driven urgency, abrupt and
sometimes disruptive change
may be required to keep the company
competitive. In situations when timing
is critical to success, and companies must get more efficient and productive
rapidly, revolutionary change is demanded. When choosing between evolutionary change and
revolutionary action, you as a leader must pursue a
balanced and pragmatic approach.
