Somebody new comes along and they have a different idea.

What we’ve always done like this, they’d like to do like that. They look at something that’s we’ve pretty much got down, and want to change it up. The practice, the process, the principle we’ve relied on, they think it needs a rethink.

It sure has been this way for a while.

And maybe they’re right.

Hold on though.

If it doesn’t work, fine. Find something better and shift into gear.

If it’s still working though, and working well, and the only reason for change is the changer – because it wasn’t their idea, they like a new alternative, ”it’s time”, they don’t understand where it came from so let’s start from scratch – then let’s not.

Old isn’t a candidate just because it’s not new.

Skippy strategy: Put the energy where it has impact, not just to make a splash.
