Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One

by Jenny Blake

“Stay curious. Situations are either resolving or dissolving.” The same can be said for anything you feel stuck

In other words, your gut will communicate with you when big decisions are on the line if you pay attention to it, and it will sound alarms when your most primal needs are not being met.

These days, it is likely that an employee who does not feel heard will start looking elsewhere. Money is no longer the only currency for career or life success. High net growth individuals want to feel challenged, collaborative, and like they are able to make a positive impact within their organizations and outside of them.

During my time at Google, one of the traits recruiters looked for in potential employees was adaptability.

Prevent trouble before it arises. Put things in order before they exist. The giant pine tree grows from a tiny sprout. The journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath your feet. Rushing into action, you fail. Trying to grasp things, you lose them. Forcing a project to completion, You ruin what was almost ripe. Therefore the Master takes action by letting things take their course. He remains as calm at the end as at the beginning. —Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
