As we observe and learn from others' succcesses, keep in mind what you see now is often not what made them a success. People often change from smart risk takers to just keep things the samers.
Remember those oversimplifications like "there are 2 kinds of people in the world?"
The add clarity to multides of complex concepts and are easy to remember in stress so we can applyactions to these easy-to- recall quips.
I want to add to one I read that describes a group or company.
In this organization there are:
Hunters- people who go out into then world and bring in contributors, customers, sales, donors
Farmer/ Gatherer-- Same result just more passive process & extended time period
Skinners- These guys are like administrators and financiers. They take apart the "kill" or "bounty" and divide it up.
This particular blog is to address the top leaders who use to be hunters, try new things, take chances, allow freedom to fail, challenge higher-ups and motivate others. Now that thay feel some success, these same people just try not to "mess things up". They like where the are and want to perpetuate the situation as long as possible.
You recognize these converted former change leaders in a meeting by how the are quick to poke holes in a proposal. One can tell the difference between inquisitive understanding seekers and snipers looking to impede possible change--even if improvement.
Remember also that there is a whole different leader who looks similar but he is just making change for appearence sake and not really improving the situation. This makes it look like progress but it is really just activity.
What course do we take? Make your changes smaller as to not create concern--then wait for the opportunity moment with all your resources on ready and charge through the gates to to what needs doing as a Real Change Leader

How do people Read you? Is that Right?
More than ever, people need to know what you are about.
How are you communicating this?
Can people pick up on the right stuff ...or worse do they not care?
Ask yourself if people you meet or e-chat with can answer these questions accurately
that they are asking about you?:
Can I Trust You?
Are Committed to being the best?
Do you care about me?
In Assembling your next action steps, reflect on Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror song where he sets to change the world by starting with himself.
Are you moving upward & Forward in your Life/ Business?
Have you given an open/outward sign of Committment?
Are you Learning & Evolving everyday?
Are you seeking to understand what others want and need--If they know.
We live better lives when we serve to improve the lives of others.
First they have to give you a chance by us answering the above questions correctly from their perception.
Set some milestones---
So Then ask'em "How my doing?"
