"The Art of not standing still: A guide to Stuck-tistics" was a second contender for a headline, and I didn't want it go to to waste, so that's the subtitle.
Starting with the problem first is critical before even trying to brainstorm for a solution. This is a key part of Six Sigma, where you must Define first.
Completely agree Colette, thanks for providing insights from Six Sigma: I haven't done it myself, but I've learned about their stages.
Defining is what makes or breaks your problem-solving. If I try to fix the darkness with new curtains instead of a new lamp, it just might not be what needs to be fixed, so a waste of resources and time. Taking the extra time to define saves you time down the line :)
I feel like the equivalent of a talking head on a TV show getting featured here 😄
I like how you've split this up over 2 posts, got the two distinct messages out and still linked it back to the film.
Very creative.
I think getting stuck happens to some people much less than others because they just keep attacking the problem from different angles until they see how to reach the solution. Lots of ways to attack it in here. Thanks Francisca
I'm glad you enjoyed it Mark! :) And indeed your comment was a great one!
I think at work, it's easy to feel stuck: middle management has a lot to tackle from all sides, but they're not necessarily budget holders, so they see the frustration and sometimes can't do much about it.
Upper Management has the budgets but sometimes doesn't know that something is being a cause for frustration.
That's why getting stuck has so many ways of getting loose: finding the take a walk equivalent can help unblock situations with little to no budget available!
Great. Good Point of view. Fully agree with you
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for commenting!
