Who wants to change?
\u201cEarly on in my tenure, I was given a cartoon that circulated widely at the UN. The cartoon showed dozens of people listening to a speech. In the first panel, the speaker asks, \u2019Who wants change?\u2019 and all audience members enthusiastically raise their hands. In the second panel, the speaker refines his question, asking, \u2018Who wants to change?\u2019 This time, each audience member looks toward the ground, demurring.\u201d
It\u2019s human nature to want things to be better, to ask for more of this and less of that. It\u2019s also human nature to expect someone else to do the work. Sometimes we feel resigned that we are too small, and the things we want changed too big. Sometimes we simply feel entitled. Change within ourselves takes hard work, and so does collective change.
