Timeline Notes
Adaptation is difficult because it's easy to get comfortable. Success requires you to be light on your toes. Doug explains that Jeremy challenges people, and he fosters growth in others because of this.
Organizationally, Fluent Conveyors is a healthy environment for adaptation and growth. It is not an organization that adheres to strict hierarchies or tells people to stay in their own lane.
Embracing change is not only a work challenge - it is also a challenge in our personal lives. Jeremy has learned to embrace change in his family to become more present outside of work. Doug explains how he needs to step up to plan more time with his wife and his family.
When you try to get a positive change over generations, you have to relearn your self-image and how to be in relationships. Changing your beliefs and habits is difficult, especially when they have been reenforced through your childhood.
Doug and Jeremy are solutions-oriented, which helps them quickly adapt to change. They are constantly pushing adaptations and changes to help their teams stay ahead of the curve.
One of Jeremy's strengths as a leader is his willingness to allow his team members to present ideas and strategies to improve his organization. He challenges his colleagues to be forward thinking.
