From every corner of LinkedIn, I see leaders, consultants, and organizations trying to fix the movie by changing the screen.
New strategies. Better systems. More frameworks. Different people.
Can you change the movie by fixing the screen? That’s what we’re unconsciously conditioned to do.
The projector remains unchanged.”
What we see out there in our organizations is our own mind projected outward.
We see the dysfunction, the resistance, the complexity through the lens of our past.
We’re not observing reality. We’re seeing a reflection of our own conditioning.
The problems we perceive are inseparable from the consciousness perceiving them.
This is why organizational transformation and leadership development so rarely transform anything.
We’re endlessly rearranging the screen while the projector runs the same film.
Real change doesn’t happen by fixing what we see. It happens when we recognize we are the projector.
“If we could see reality exactly as it is, we would know precisely what to do.” —Joseph Jaworski
