Changing the Employment Mindset

The biggest challenge is convincing individuals to move from seeking a job and job security to embracing entrepreneurship and believing in it. The role of

incubators and government support is to reinforce this idea of entrepreneurship, but change must begin with the individual, as the saying goes

Almighty God says: “Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves.”

Regarding the change we hope to bring about, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, a Swedish psychiatrist and creator of the “Change Curve” theory, believes that change goes through

five stages: denial (rejection) – anger (resentment toward the new situation) – bargaining (compromise) – depression

(coming to terms with reality) – and finally acceptance (coming to believe in it).

These stages do not necessarily occur in this order. But reaching acceptance and conviction requires identifying which stage we are in, so we can move through

the stages as quickly as possible and adapt to this shift in attitude toward entrepreneurship.
