How many ways can you solve a problem?
How many choices do you have for dealing with your challenge?
The answer of course is many. We always have choices, and in solving a problem we get to choose whether or not the people we partner with, the processes we use, and the solutions we develop match our mission. To do that, don't we first need a clear mission?
We will be happier with the solutions we develop once we align them with the purpose we are seeking.
Centered problem solvers are clear about their mission and goals before trying to solve tough problems.
Before we jump into the answers, why not center ourselves around the right questions?
