Flexability

What does it mean to have flexibility? For my youngest son, it a physical limitation. He has been in Karate but he has not stretched his muscles. When he went through the physical assessment at the gym last night, that was his biggest area for improvement.

How often in business do we see people who lack "professional" flexibility? I have lied to everyone i have ever hired. It was not an intentional lie. It was just the fact that between the time they interviewed and the time they started, business changed. In todays business climate, global warming does not happen over millions of years. The climate changes by the hour. You have to be like the Marines, Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome.

When you are stretching muscle, you have to feel a little discomfort for you to improve your flexibility. When you stretch your "professional" muscles, there will be some discomfort also.

If you experience no discomfort, . . .
