How To Be a Catalyst for Change
People who are catalysts make things happen. They're passionate about their jobs. But which came first - their passion or the ability to get things done? Learn to be a catalyst for change and you may experience renewed enthusiasm for your job: 1) Start by writing down three to five things that need improvement in your work environment over which you could influence correcting. 2) Next to each item, note ideas that'll lead to a solution. 3) From this list, choose one area of improvement where you're most likely to succeed, and take the first action step. Start small. It may only be a conversation with other influencers about possibilities. 4) From these conversations, consider your next small move. This is called "strategizing". As you make small, positive changes, you'll feel the momentum and be able to visualize success. Your enthusiasm will grow. Notice how focus, determination, patience - and a bit of political sensitivity - play key roles in creating change in your organization. You've discovered a path to feeling more engaged and finding more meaning in your job.
