GAME CHANGER OR CHANGE MAKER

People nowadays, tend to equate game changer with change maker.

These two have very different connotations. 

Would you want to be a game changer? or a change maker?

Game changing  is about changing the direction of the game (or game itself), reframing the scope and parameters of the engagement, and ensuring that you come out with a winner's advantage. This can be a short-term project or a long-term horizon perspective. Consistent game changers are Apple, Amazon, Fedex, to name a few. 

Whereas, being a change maker reminds me of the long-term work that needs to happen to get our audacious goals for ourselves, our communities, our enterprises succeed. 

You can position yourself as both. 


This world calls for game changers with the short-term stakes on the pie, and change markers with the eye for long-term sustainable progress.

But, if you have to choose, choose game changing, because the ambiguous future looks to bold and audacious leaders who are willing to stretch the imagination of society, so that we can all come out thriving, not just surviving. 

Game changing doesn't require a lot of brain power, or talent, or more connections. It doesn't require you shift lanes or careers or jobs. It doesn't require lots of capital infusion. 

They can see the writing on the wall when others are busy mounting on their saddles again. It's called prescience, reinvention, mining opportunities, and #beyondresilience attitude.
