Are your constituents on board? Are they on your side? Will they support the solution to your problem with all of their energy and focus and support?
Have you even agreed on what the problem is?
Have you agreed on what your goal is?
Tough problems call for strong agreements.
Even though most problems are due to process issues and not people (accord to William Deming) it is thru people that we solve those problems and achieve our goals.
And that takes agreements.
Build strong agreements at every stage and every step of your problem solving. It will not only seem more centered to you -- it will be.
