"𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

One of my main messages yesterday during my keynote was that you need to make the most of the moment if you have one. If a wide variety of trends are suddenly coming together - which they are for medical device technology as they are for many other industries - then you have to move at the speed of the trends. This is a message I often share while on stage.

In that context, I've also been doing a final proofread of 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒂𝒊𝒏 - I suspect we are days away from release. And in one of the chapters, I saw one of the phrases I wrote - "𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒." When you write tens of thousands of words, you sometimes forget the wisdom you wove into just a few of those words.

With that in mind, here's what you need to think about.

You need to commit.

You need to have a compelling sense of urgency.

You have to decide to move forward, not back.

You should have a sense that RIGHT NOW is the right time.

You must be ready to act decisively.

You need to make decisions.

You need to move with the trends as they mature, not as they fade.

Do things. Now.

Get it done - because why should you wait?

Kill indecision - otherwise, it will kill you.

Start doing. Action is better than stasis.

Act faster - because your world is.

Volatility is normal - learn from it.

Think faster. Don't wait for perfect information.

Act more. Momentum is valuable.

Change is inevitable - Indecisiveness isn't.

Because waiting is fatal.

Agility, innovation, and execution are key.

Futurist Jim Carroll admits to having never understood indecision.

“Embrace the chaos" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Constant chaos is now a feature, not a bug.

Get used to it. It might be your new normal.

That's one reason why I've written my book Dancing in the Rain (currently being edited and, if I am lucky, expected out this month!) I knew it was necessary to explore how leaders can thrive when chaos and uncertainty collide. While some people freeze in panic, true uncertainty warriors accelerate into the storm by embracing the chaos.

Why? Because chaos reveals opportunities that rigid thinking can't see. When everything feels unpredictable, most companies retreat into survival mode. They fine-tune when they should be reinventing. They become chaos warriors! They understand something fundamentally different: You can't shrink your way to the future. You've got to create momentum when everyone else is standing still.

This brings me to Chaos Theory, a state that scientists have studied for years. It tells us that even in seemingly random systems, patterns exist. In business, those patterns are opportunities among the madness.

Small interventions can create massive impacts. The butterfly effect isn't just physics—it's business strategy. Smart leaders look for these patterns in the noise. They spot the weak signals while competitors chase yesterday's data.

The key thing is that they make bold moves based on emerging trends, not fading forecasts. Need those trends? I just put together a site for a client of 101 trends you should be thinking about. It's at 101trends.jimcarroll.com .

Dancing in the rain? Think about Zoom during the pandemic. Netflix's streaming pivot during economic turbulence. The companies that didn't just survive uncertainty. they reshaped entire industries because of it.

They weren't reckless. They were strategically chaotic! They were chaos warriors!

Chaos isn't comfortable.

But comfort isn't where the future lives.

So when the next wave of constant chaos hits (and it will), ask yourself:

Will you run for shelter with everyone else? Or will you step into the storm with arms wide open?

Because while others are waiting for the chaos to pass, you could be using it to build something extraordinary.

The future doesn't belong to the prepared. It belongs to the bold.

And the boldest act of all?

Learning to dance in the rain.

Jim Carroll's book "Dancing in the Rain: Leadership Strategies for Thriving in Uncertainty" is currently being edited and expected to be released this month. The book explores how visionary leaders turn volatility and chaos into competitive advantage.

“𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑒𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑝𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑜𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑑, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑖𝑡?" - Futurist Jim Carroll

I𝐭'𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐯𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬, and I'm loving the feedback and comments from those who have picked up copies. (Are you in? You can grab copies at the Mediocrity website !)

But while working on them, I'm always thinking. At first, I put together 𝐸𝑚𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑜𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 to identify the attitudes and actions that cause so many people to live a mediocre life. Once that was becoming a reality, I realized I needed a way to offer people a path out of such an existence, which led of course, to the creation and release of 𝐸𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑀𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑜𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐭, 𝐈'𝐦 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐝. Let's say you manage to escape the mediocrity you once embraced, but what if it came creeping back? What if the old bad behaviors, mindsets, and beliefs that drove you before come back into your mind, even though you've worked so hard to escape them?

I realized what you need to do is eradicate them.

So I started thinking about how you eradicate mediocrity, and I came to realize that what it would involve is coming to accept some ground truths about your situation and your reality.

So I started compiling a list. Let's call it a list of 101 Principles of Leadership and Innovation. They seem to neatly fall into several buckets or categories, so I've included that in the list. Or maybe it's a list about, um, I dunno, eradicating mediocrity? Maybe you should read the post to the bottom!

There is, of course, a PDF, which I pulled together with my nifty new little AI deck generation tool!

Oh, and there's a Website that I generated with AI - it's at sparkchange.jimcarroll.com - entirely generated by AI.

Read the post for the list - and a fun surprise!

Bounty mit 14 Jahren bei den Bundeshundespielen. Ein tolles Event, bei dem wirklich jede und jeder mitmachen kann. Egal ob alt oder jung, dick oder dünn, groß oder klein. Und das gilt sowohl für Mensch als auch Hunde. :D Das Event ist echt abwechslungsreich: Es stehen 12 Disziplinen zur Wahl, vier kann man sich aussuchen, die man dann an einem Tag mit seinem Hund macht. Bounty und ich haben Wettschwimmen, SUP, Agility und Dreikampf (Kekse fangen!) gewählt. Ich war an dem Wochenende nur mit Bounty unterwegs und sie hat die Einzelzeit sehr genossen. Am liebsten wär ich dieses Jahr wieder hin (die Location ist echt der Hammer!), aber da sind wir schon im Urlaub.

Bounty at the age of 14 at the ‘Bundeshundespiele’. A great event where everyone can participate. No matter if old or young, heavy or thin, tall or short. And that applies to both people and dogs. :D The event is really varied: there are 12 disciplines to choose from, and you can select four to do with your dog on one day. Bounty and I chose swimming, SUP, agility and triathlon (catching biscuits!). I was only out with Bounty that weekend and she really enjoyed the one-on-one time. I'd love to go again this year (the location is amazing!), but we're already on holiday on 21 and 22 June.
