Change is coming for you. No matter how skilled you were in the past, what worked yesterday might be irrelevant tomorrow. We’ll never have everything figured out. In the latest episode of Apotheosis, I look at the art of kaizen and how it promotes continuous improvement — helping us rise to each moment.
Imagine the best 15th century army in the world squaring off against any modern army. There would be no contest. The strategy that dominated warfare for millennia – thousands of men lining up and charging – was rendered nearly useless.
Like military strategy, our own strategies and approaches will one day fail. Skills that served us well in the past can become outdated as new challenges and threats arise. We all benefit from seeking to constantly improve and adapt to the needs of the present.
The business practice of kaizen, popularized in Japan, offers a systematic way to identify problems, design and test solutions, and make continuous improvements. Delving into root causes of problems can help uncover solutions.
To adopt kaizen, favor gradual changes over time. Minor tweaks over time can lead to sustainable change and positive impact.
