i-TFTD #176

i-TFTD #176

#176-1. People don't resist change. They resist being changed!

-Peter Senge

#176-2. Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.

-Theodore Roosevelt

#176-3. You can only lead others where you yourself are prepared to go.

-Lachlan McLean

It is said that the fashion industry and product designers in general, introduce apparently new ideas while carefully maintaining continuity with the old and familiar because people often say they want change but do not like real change. Peter Senge is the guru who coined "The Learning Organization".

The third one is about "leading from the front". Unfortunately we see exceptions in society where cult leaders are able to lead others to self-destruction and mass destruction while they hide in safety.

The words of American President Roosevelt, who was responsible for the creation of "Teddy Bear", can be interpreted in different ways. If you have a big stick to wield, its power is maximum when it is not actually used but it is available and accompanies soft speaking.
