As you enter your 20s, your ambition might make you feel that you are above average, believing that things should be a certain way, However, reality often does not suit your expectations.

You might propose big changes within your organization, confident in your solution to improve everything. But have you ever considered why the current systems exist on the first place? These processes have developed over years for a reason. While your idea might seem better, you need to specifically imply what’s the better part.

Subjectivity is part of human nature. For example, “better” for Susan might mean a faster process, while for John, it could mean an ease of use. Without specific definitions, you risk falling into a subjective pitfall.

Instead of pushing for a big changes, focus on understanding the most impactful outcome of your actions with the most less effort. To know what the impacts are, you need to see what the market’s needs. Usually, impactful changes either generate revenue, reduces costs, or add value to the product.

Understanding these three keys might slow you down, but they provide clarity. Ask yourself, what needs to change? What can we do first that requires the least effort but yields the biggest impact?

Humans are naturally defensive when faced with change. However, change is possible if approached gradually as if instead of swallowing it whole, try bite size. Notice how people change in small ways over time, leading to significant changes.

Try to find the demands and needs within your organization. Highlight the facts and break down problems into manageable tasks that can be resolved within a month. Over time, these incremental changes will lead to the system that has been your goal from the start.
