Dealing with change can be approached from multiple perspectives as outlined by Ed Batista in his writings. Here are some strategies and insights to consider:

1. Create Open Space: Allow yourself time for reflective thought, which is essential for understanding and solving complex problems. This requires creating an environment free from distractions where your mind can wander and make unexpected associative connections. This space is where creative solutions often emerge.

2. Value Your Attention: Recognize that focused attention is a finite and precious resource. Each day you have a limited amount of it, and once spent, it cannot be reclaimed. Prioritize where you direct your attention and understand that it's a discipline to manage it effectively.

3. Make Change a Habit: Change can be overwhelming when viewed as a grand endeavor. Instead, break it down into simple building blocks and incorporate small changes into your daily routine. This approach makes change more manageable and sustainable over time.

4. Accept Reality and Develop Resilience: Acknowledge the heightened uncertainty and instability of the current era. Leadership roles will be increasingly stressful, and embracing the finite nature of existence can be a source of meaning. Accepting reality and developing resilience will be key to navigating these challenges.

5. On Change: Understand that while we have a powerful drive to exert control, the accelerating pace of change makes it more difficult to maintain that control. Accept the limits of your control and agency, and be prepared to innovate and grow within the context of ongoing disruption.

6. On Leadership: Leaders are expected to provide guidance and reassurance, which can be particularly challenging during rapid changes. Effective leadership involves storytelling and sensemaking, helping others navigate ambiguity and aligning actions with a coherent narrative.

7. On Mortality: Confront the fact that life is finite, and use this awareness to inform your approach to change. Instead of seeking to control everything, which is an illusion, focus on acceptance and determination when faced with the unexpected.

8. Resilience: True resilience isn't about being unaffected by challenges but having the ability to absorb impact, adapt, and persist without breaking. It's about balancing unwavering faith that you can prevail with the discipline to confront the brutal facts of your situation.

9. Zooming Out and Zooming In: Recognize the difference between motion and progress. In the early stages, staying busy might equate to progress, but over time, true progress is about strategic actions that prevent problems before they arise.

10. Caregiving and Stress Management: When life throws significant changes at you, such as illness or caregiving responsibilities, it's helpful to redefine what 'normal' means to you. It's a marathon, not a sprint, and savoring the little things can provide comfort and happiness amidst stress.

By integrating these insights into your life, you can navigate change more effectively, with a focus on resilience, adaptability, and mindful attention to what truly matters.
