You just joined a group, company, or organisation.

You spent time studying the environment and its workings.

You discovered chaos and disorder but you have a solution.

The best thing you can do for yourself is ignore statements like – ‘this is how we do it here’.

Ignore the naysayers. Most times they don’t know better.

Find courage to inject the newness you’re good at, into the chaos and disorder.

Apply your understanding of the culture and the workings of the existing system to the implementation of your solution.

Chaos and order will fight back, but be patient.

Your solution will either fail or succeed or there’s an emphatic rejection of a working solution – a stalemate, a face-off.

At this point, you are closest to 100% in being sure of what to do next.
