Peter Drucker, the business icon, believed that all business boiled down to innovation and marketing.

Bringing the best service to the market does no good for you if no one ever hears about it because your marketing sucks.

Tony believes that the primary reason a business declines after years, decades of crushing it is when the leadership falters. If you’ve got the right product and the WRONG people; people who don’t know how to meet customers needs, people who aren’t hungry and driven and if nothing shifts for the better you can destroy a great product and company with the wrong leader.

On the other hand, there are plenty examples of business who started out by kids who had almost no background or leadership training who through their passion, found a way to make the impossible, possible.

Individuals are how companies change.

The company changes when individuals find more ways to add value. Breakthroughs only come with a change in psychology. A change in someone’s beliefs, their emotions.

This blog post was very eye-opening. From life and through my studies I have learned, as Sydney mentioned, that change is the only constant. However, maybe because I have not yet entered into the PR world because I am currently a Senior at the University of Miami, I never thought about change in regards to my future career. This blog post has certainly prompted me to take the next step, gain an edge, and step up my game when it comes to PR.

Spot on! Change is the only constant thing on this world, and rings true to the technology advancement of today. I think the best thing to do is always be on guard and always think 10 steps ahead instead of being comfortable with just one technique.

It is quite a quick change at that. Going to this kind of medium, it’s best to enter it while thinking that the landscape is always evolving and it’s your responsibility to keep up and adapt.

Two major obstacles with advocating change is retraining staff and dealing with entrenched workplace attitudes. I’m not talking about PR people or social media experts, but rather the 9 to 5 office workers who are not at all “curious about human interactions” as marketers are. This inertia is the reason why most offices are still stuck on Windows XP when Microsoft has already released two new OSes and are about to release a third.
