Oh no! 🤯 Software engineers might actually have to *adapt* to changing technology? 😱 Who would have thought a career based on #innovation might require... innovation! 🤦‍♂️ #AI is the bogeyman, and naturally, the solution is to cling to the past. 🕰️

The future doesn't care about your resume.

It only cares about your ability to adapt.

Don't let your experience become the baggage that holds you back.

If you think about our world of rapid change, you can easily appreciate that experience is a double-edged sword. It gives you the confidence to go forward, but it can also hold you back by encouraging you to be complacent, trying the 'same old things' instead of trying new things. In my 36-year voyage, I’ve come to realize that the more you "know" about how something works, the harder it is to see how it is about to change.

Think about it this way: the experience that you have in adapting to change has become more important than experience itself.

What does this mean? To master the art of the infinite pivot, you have to be willing to fire yourself as an expert every few years and reinvent yourself. You need to be willing to trade your "Expert" badge for a "Beginner" badge, admitting that the knowledge that made you successful yesterday might be the very thing that makes you obsolete tomorrow.

This is not only a personal skill but also the ultimate test for any leader in an era of disruptive change. Most organizations are run by experts who are conditioned to protect their "proven" success. When disruption occurs, these experts are often the first to dismiss it, discount it, and label it as unimportant because it threatens their identity, status, and power. They aren't just protecting the business; they are protecting their status.

To master the Infinite Pivot, you must be willing to unlearn and relearn. You have to be comfortable being the student in a room full of people who have less "experience" but more "adaptability" than you do.

The future rewards your ability to learn, not your ability to remember.

Don’t let your years of experience become years of baggage!

Prodigy is at its essence: adaptability and persistent, positive obsession. Without persistence, what remains is an enthusiasm of the moment. Without adaptability, what remains may be channeled into destructive fanaticism. Without positive obsession, there is nothing at all.

"Anyone can find an excuse to stand still. Make it your life's work to find the reasons to move." - Futurist Jim Carroll

As a species, it seems we are engineered to stand still (or move back) rather than forward.

I was thinking about that yesterday — how easy it is to make excuses to avoid taking action.

I certainly do this, even though I often feature this issue when I’m speaking to my clients about innovation.

Right now, I’ve spent a few weeks — literally — getting ready to launch another blog series. This one is called: “36 LESSONS: THE ART OF THE INFINITE CAREER PIVOT.” It’s based on a list I wrote last November on the 35th anniversary of leaving the corporate workforce, starting my own company, and working from home.

I didn't write it beyond the original list. Other projects got in the way; client projects surfaced; I kept looking for the right design for the daily posts as well as the website that would go with it; my spinal injury intervened; and most importantly, family time, including with my new grandson, took over.

And over the last few months, I’ve managed to find every excuse in the book not to get going. Heck, I was going to start it today, but, well, I didn’t. 

So here we are! I’m writing a post about making excuses because I needed an excuse as to why I have yet to get it going!

So I’ll start it tomorrow. It’s good!

The same thing happens in the corporate space, particularly during geopolitical tensions. Right now, companies are postponing projects, abandoning initiatives, and hunkering down into inaction. There is a crazy amount of uncertainty with the economy, war, global tensions, politics — and so leaders are doing the easiest thing of all: nothing.

And that’s exactly why I wrote Dancing in the Rain — the subtitle, How Bold Leaders Grow Stronger in Stormy Times, provides the exact antidote to indecision. (Grab it via dancing.jimcarroll.com!)

It’s really quite simple.

Stop stopping.

Start moving.

Futurist Jim Carroll tries to practice the innovation lessons he shares with his clients. He often fails at this.
