How to make an impact and why you can’t make an impact yet?

The single most persistent challenge often attributed to initiating a change in the conduct of a system is that it involves conflict and further the face-off with conflict will almost always meet with crisis and finally crisis fogged with unprecedented uncertainty breeds chaos.

And….

You and me, the mere mortals, we fear chaos!! Right?

Nah! not again!!!

Now lets block out all extremal superlatives like chaos out of the equation and just concentrate our attention on the two axes of any problem scenario-crisis and conflict. This brings me to the single-most crucial tenet of my line of attack: Crisis clarity. You need the conviction to convince your target audience that the clarity you can bring to the table, above the muddle of confusion and complexity is the “missing piece”, and with that now and hereafter the crisis or conflict that may arise is not be feared but to be welcome. This is how you “become the impact” rather than pushing it haphazardly and hoping it to take shape.

When you bring a unique depth of clarity around the smokescreen of crisis and conflict, people who were persistently averse to participation in your scheme, are morphed almost instantly into devout followers of your anthem of change. They make it their own slogan thereafter!!

However, its important to note here that this clarity is not about feeding to a propaganda based on recklessly manipulated extrapolation of existing ideas .History has taught us, that such attempts are doomed and destruct the fabric of the society and world as such.

But to command undivided attention to the UVP of your signature program, your clarity about crisis led change should be relatable and verifiable to your intended audience. Perhaps not all at once, but in parts-which you reveal to them in a gradual detour. This path has to be used to zoom-in the “subtle nuances” of a new perspective which they would have overlooked before. This excursion should be a minefield of exciting new discoveries and revelations for your target audience. You should be in complete control of this exploration. This is what leaders strive and succeed to great extent in their game-plan.

Now, you may ask how can I project clarity on my claims about change, when I am uncertain about its consequences?

My answer is twofold: First, loosen up your adamant inertia to face rejection and loss. Second, embrace disruption as the frontrunner of change manifestation. Start with the fundamentals and every complex and uncertain scenario will have a smaller manageable chunk where you can apply your existing knowledge base, and make inferences. These inferences has to be validated in the grass-root level of conformity. This specialization of general problem scenario will enable you to chisel out inroads and pathways to surmount the steep terrain ahead towards the larger, broader, and seemingly ambiguous general problem, which potentially threatens you with fear of conflict and crisis. Also be an ardent listener and keep yourself open to experienced hands and informed critics

Summarizing this edition of the exploration, I would say:

Trust the process, and allow it bloom in full vitality. Do not focus too hard on the short-term highs and lows, however do learn from them and make the sensible tweaks in your approach.
