Growing up, I couldn’t grasp the forever motto, ‘History Repeats Itself.’ As a child, it didn’t make sense to me, as I would wonder why anyone would want to repeat what doesn’t correctly end well, personally, professionally, and within society.
When we realize what isn’t working from any stance, we must figure out the ‘why’ to take the correct action to fix it. Doing the same old never produces the desired results and can sometimes take an organization down the drain. The question becomes, what can history teach us?
