Change Isn’t Hard—Staying the Same Is
Welcome to "Mitchell Levy Presents," your weekly newsletter dedicated to helping you navigate the ever-changing landscape of the modern world. Every week, we'll delve into the strategies, practices, and insights that empower you to adapt, evolve, and thrive amidst disruption.
Let’s be honest: the narrative that “change is hard” is one of the biggest lies we’ve sold ourselves in leadership.
Change isn’t hard. What’s hard is defending the old way when everything around you is begging for evolution. What’s hard is doubling down on habits, systems, and behaviors that no longer serve your goals—but do serve your comfort. Because if you’re leading from the same mindset, language, or playbook you used three years ago, you’re not leading. You’re just repeating.
What’s Really Driving the Resistance?
Most leaders don’t resist change because they’re lazy. They resist because:
Change means releasing control.
Change invites questions they don’t yet have answers for.
Change reveals where they’ve been hiding behind outdated authority.
So instead of leaning in, they stay “busy.” They hide behind performance metrics, high-stakes decision-making, or “we’ve always done it this way.” They intellectualize the future but emotionally live in the past.
Growth Isn’t About Control
In the credibility framework, growth comes from the values that allow you to adapt and evolve:
Coachability – Can you receive insight without defensiveness?
Vulnerability – Can you admit what’s not working without self-collapse?
Internal integrity – Can you align your decisions with your evolving clarity?
Real leadership is growth in public. It’s choosing evolution even when it feels messy and uncertain. If you want different results, you have to become a different leader—again and again.
