Continuing from this post, I see a connection here between the river metaphor for understanding change and the “moneyball” approach of Shane Battier and the Houston Rockets in the “The No-Stats All-Star” article by Michael Lewis (of Moneyball fame). One approach to dealing with change, based on the article, is to find how you can move the needle, focus on that effort, and if things to wrong you understand that “losing” will always be a potential outcome. Like guarding Kobe Bryant, you cannot redirect the current of the river, but you can find small, sometimes unrecognizable ways to create an impact. And, like Shane Battier, that work will likely be unseen. 📐
