Profitable Online Business Ideas and the Recession: Keys to Success Part 2
In the last article we discussed the need for change. Without the willingness to change, nothing will change in our life and circumstances. We can want change or things to change all we want.

In spite of the fact that creating change is a key competency required to be an effective leader, most people resist change. This includes leaders themselves. However, effective leaders accept change as a positive force and they are able to convince those that follow them that change is nothing more than a roadmap to a new and better destination.

The Social Entrepreneur as CEO/Business Leader
Towards the end of my corporate career almost 20 years ago there was much talk about how human resources executives would soon be the new breed of CEO’s. This hasn’t eventuated! Accountants, lawyers, and engineers still dominate CEO ranks. In many cases this means logic overrides intuition, in personal and organisational decision making, rather than the ability and willingness to find the relationship harmony point between logic and intuition. Could a change be in the air? Human resources executives will probably still not become the new breed of CEO, however my sense is that Social Entrepreneurs will.
Making the Transition
Consistency in any organisation is vital to ensure results. Leadership, structure, systems and consistent delivery create growth. But as organisational growth occurs and it outgrows its present structure and systems, then these need to change. A lack of change will cause instability and growth will stall.
