Have you ever tried to solve a tough problem and realized that your solutions just didn't agree with you?
A good idea can seem to solve the problem, but somehow it disconnects from what you're looking for.
Centered problem solvers are clear about their mission and goals before trying to solve tough problems.
This is part of what I call the FOCUS process step in centered problem solving: aligning any ideas and steps you take with your central purpose, your mission, your goals.
You do want your problem solutions to contribute to your big picture mission, don't you?
