When inflexibility is not an option

If you have big plans ahead or you are already pursuing them but somehow struggling, remember that you have to remain flexible. This is particularly important if you are about to lead a new initiative or programme.

In such cases you need to stay – or, if you aren't so already, become – as flexible as possible. If you manage this, all the various twists and turns and ups and downs will not cause you any harm and you will be able more easily to persist on your course.
