Good Morning,
I was chatting with some friends about some troubles an organization I am a part of was having. The prior administration of this group had talked about fixing the problem and this persisted for about eight months. A new administration had then come in and inherited the problem. Within a month and a half, they had not only got to the bottom of the problem, they had resolved it. What was the difference between the two administrations? Why did one take eight months and not come up with a solution, much less understand the full scope of the issue, and the other had it resolved and explained within a month and a half?
As it turns out the leader of the last administration had asked for advice and help on the issue from friends and coworkers, and they were slow in getting back to him and even then, they came with partial information. The leader of the new administration hired a professional firm to look into and resolve the issue. The cost was minimal and the issue explained and resolved in one fell swoop.
Why did the one leader not provide the results that the second did? He certainly tried.
It seems to me that the first leader did not take the issue seriously or approached resolving it seriously. He wanted to address the issue on his terms and not on those of the entity with which the problem existed. The second leader faced the issue, and used the appropriate vehicle to get the job done.
In the problems you are facing in life, if they are lingering, ask yourself, are you being serious about resolving them. Are you acting like the second leader who took care of the problem?
Think about it!
Enjoy!
