Can one truly advocate for “change” to happen? Here’s what a mean:
Change is not a thing: Change is what happens when an existing thing becomes a different thing. In other words, in order for change to happen you need a “before” and “after.” Without he the “after” there is no change.
Examples: The existing CEO is replaced by a new CEO: the CEO has changed. Your current weight drops 10 pounds: your weight has changed. Instead of sleeping until 8am you start waking up at 6:30 and go to the gym: your morning routine has changed.
The point is to say that advocating for “Change” to happen is meaningless without a vision for what the New thing is meant to be. The current CEO might be doing a really bad job, but simply “advocating for change” will not solve the problem. You advocate for a the NEW qualities that the CEO should have–You advocate for the solution to the problems, not change itself. Change will be a result of that, but Change itself should not be a solution.
So while you might be able to advocate for “Change” to happen, without a clear definition of what the”New” thing is supposed to be, advocating for Change is worthless–like investing in lottery tickets as a plan for retirement. You should advocate for things, not change.
