Ride the Wave: How to Embrace Change and Create a Powerful New Relationship with Risk
Within today’s ever-changing and disruptive business conditions, the surf is always up. Widespread changes are now occurring regardless of the industry, market, product or service and organizations will need to change in order to meet these new demands.
In Ride the Wave: How to Embrace Change and Create a Powerful New Relationship with Risk, author and business strategist, John Wessinger, believes it’s necessary for business leaders today to model themselves after the archetypal surfer: they must learn to embrace the conditions (quickly evaluate changing markets), adopt a progression-based mindset (continually build new skills) and use risk as a compass (willingly explore risk-driven strategies) to thrive in today’s new conditions. Risk is now the new norm and the new path to success!
We are now in an era in which technology and information-sharing platforms have given buyers and consumers more information about products and services than ever before. There’s a new power dynamic between companies and customers in which buyers no longer need organizations to help them make a purchase decision. The business leaders and organizations that embrace this change, adopt a new mindset and a willingness to take on risk, will survive and thrive in these new conditions. Organizations that do, will become leaders in their respective markets instead of followers. Ride The Wave provides a new set of principles to overcome these new challenges and outlines a new process for success: Be More Like The Surfer And Ride The Wave!
