Change Is Good?

I am still working on my degree and this week I have a project due for my Leadership 440 "Leading Change" class.  The project requires me to write a 1000-word paper on personal change.  But what if I don't want to change?  Yea I know, it is for a grade and I really should think about changing.

There is one thing that I have learned over the past several years is that change is good.  At home, at work, in politics, and life in general.  But something struck me tonight while I was reading a blog posted by a friend of mine - why do people pursue change?  This lady has a child with Cerebral Palsy or CP.  She just returned from another country where she had stem cell transplantation performed on her son.  She has a truly amazing story to tell how she is doing everything to change the life her son has been given.  And to top it all off, she has placed all of her decisions in the hands of God.  Yea I know, some of you may not buy into that whole "God is in control" thing, but that is one of the changes in my life.  I am here to tell you that it is true.  God is in control of most of my life.  Obviously, I cannot speak for you and what you believe  but I am here to tell you it is true.  I believe we have a certain sphere of control in our lives for the little things.  But for everything else, we are doing exactly what God wants us to do and exactly when he wants us to do it.  If you ever want to know my proof just ask.

But I digress -  so what should I change?  Ok, for this assignment I am going to assume I need to change something about my leadership style.  Something that keeps me from being an effective leader.
