Does it ever seem that your major problem would go away if you could just fix the people around it?
If you think that the problem is people, remember that includes you.

Centered, creative problem solving starts with the knowledge that people are not perfect and are usually not to blame.
People are often misunderstood. Why not start with your communication around the problem to see if there are some misunderstandings there?
Talking about it is a great place to begin.
