Note
from Dr. Bob:
"Change happens. Events are unpredictable. Yesterday's
way of doing business may not fit today or tomorrow's reality.
We need to develop abilities that will let us be flexible and
innovative, and not get locked into only one way of carrying out
our responsibilities. There are always new skills to be learned,
different rolls to play and 'what if strategies to be developed,
so adjustments can be made when the unanticipated occurs. This
applies to both organizations and individuals."
