I’m taking a pole:
Do you harness change or navigate change?
What does “harness” mean?: to bring under conditions for effective use; gain control over for a particular end, control, manage, utilize.
And what’s “navigate” mean?: to move on, over, or through, to direct or manage; to control the course to pass over, to find one’s way.
Terry Paulson, the author of Paulson on Change, quotes an uncle’s advice: “It’s easiest to ride a horse in the direction it is going.”
In other words, don’t struggle against change; learn to use it to your advantage.

Paulson’s great quote makes me wonder about the the question behind the quote….
