Finding the Right Question

The hardest part of any problem-solving exercise is trying to find the right question to ask. The one that goes beyond the symptoms and looks at the root cause of what is happening and what you need to do to go forward to make it work. In some situations, it’s the question we don’t want to ask, the one we don’t want to acknowledge because changing our question to the right one would be an acknowledgment that we were initially wrong.

Your value is being the leader and that’s what the team needs to grow.

The Pot that Stirs

I don’t know what happens when the pot is constantly stirred. Does it actually not cook? I don’t think it will burn, but does it go anywhere? Does it have time to do anything? Can it get better? I don’t know many recipes that say – “stir constantly” – so maybe, just let it sit and see what happens. It takes a lot to let the pot sit and resist the temptation to tinker, to stir, it takes patience and we don’t always have that.
