Change-Averse Mindsets: The Receivers

Signs you’re a “receiver”:

• You wait for direction from others before moving forward.
• You escalate decisions, assuming they’re “above my pay grade.”
• You accept decisions (even when you don’t think they will work) to avoid questioning your boss.

Shift toward a change-ready mindset:

• Figure out an action you can take that is consistent with the change and valuable in the short term.
• Generate possible solutions before you take any problem to your boss.
• Back up any reservations you have about a decision with data or perspectives that might not have been known or included during the original discussion.
