There are many definitions on survival, on evolution, on success. One of my favourites; if you are not moving forward, then you are actually going backwards. I suppose you then need to define ‘moving forward’ and that is just a whole lot more blogs. Do you want to survive, exist? Then you need to be fit (yes, another blog). Do you want to evolve and in particular, evolve successfully? Then my defining attribute for this is not fitness, is not strength, is not intellect but adaptability. Much the same as nature.
In nature, you don’t learn from failure, especially in evolution. If you ain’t right or at the very least not matched to the environment and the environment has changed, then you die. Strong words I know, but that is reality. To evolve successfully, you need to change and meet the needs of the new environment. You need to adapt. Hey, this is starting to smell like a business rant. Even if you are the best, the strongest, the smartest, the whatever’d, if you cannot adapt then you will end up on the wrong side of the statistic of how ever many companies that fail in their first 1, 3, 5, 10 plus years. Don’t be that statistic. Adapt and thrive.
