If your buffalo is at-large, you are not safe. You never know
when, from which direction or how it will attack. You can’t
run away or climb trees. You must face the buffalo and deal
with it.
When villagers in Africa saw or learned of a roaming buffalo
(or buffaloes), they stopped whatever they were doing to make
sure that the buffalo was dealt with. The villagers knew how
stressful life would be if they let the buffalo remain
at-large. They also knew their tomorrow’s
wellbeing—individuals’ security and community stability
entirely depended how they dealt with life threatening water
buffaloes.
Which buffalo (challenge) is impeding your mission? What is
stopping you from professional and personal growth? Do you
still have the enthusiasm you had when you set your goals? If
not, then your buffalo is at-large and not only will it affect
a single goal but also it has the potential of stifling your
other endeavors.
Workplace change is a buffalo that stampedes on all elements
of creativity. However, just like in African village where
individuals were responsible for dealing with their buffaloes,
there must be personal ownership and accountability in dealing
with workplace buffaloes.
You can never overcome personal or workplace buffaloes by
immersing in detrimental thinking like, “Do we have the
resources for this change? Why is there no better system than
we have? Why do we have to do this? Do we have the proper
training? Why doesn’t that other division learn to communicate
and do their work right? Why can’t somebody take the lead and
show me what to do?”
When there is a buffalo (obstacles or change), the traditional
wisdom has it that:
|
|
1.) |
You use whatever tools (spear, arrows
or rocks) you have to achieve the ultimate goal. |
|
2.) |
You are responsible for adapting to
fast changing circumstances and update your skills
to meet new expectations. |
|
3.) |
Your relevancy in today’s and
tomorrow’s workplace depends on how soon you start
finding better ways to serve others as you assist
them achieve their goals. |
|
4.) |
You do whatever it takes based on
your values, principles and skills to bring success
to all |
|
5.) |
You become a self-initiator,
self-motivator, and self-evaluator—because if you
can’t change, you will be changed. |
|
|
|
To minimize chances of
having a roaming buffalo (letting obstacles or change ruin
your life and success in the workplace), focus on what you can
do, improve how you can do it, and do it now. What you don’t
want is choosing to blame others or take the self
victimization route (asking why me and why this and that?) or
saying we can deal with this in the future.
The key is:
|
|
• |
To know the most threatening (main
challenge) that needs to be overcome |
|
• |
To identify how you will deal with it |
|
• |
To know both tangible and intangible
rewards that are directly related to your commitment |
|
• |
To do it now when the buffalo
(challenge) is still in view and manageable. |

wonderful class. We learned more than we can
remember!…I did send you a sample of the
newsletter I have already started to use! … Your
tip on the business cards is the other thing I am
going to put into play right away and there
were several others, but will pick just 3 for now,
as per your advice and then implement a few other
things in about 6 months or so… Your class was so
helpful…"
