Figure It Out!: Six Tips to Help Get Unstuck
“There is only one way to do it, and that's to do it”. This is my favorite quote to use when leaders, teams, or organizations find themselves up against significant inertia to change or progress. The quote resonates and simplifies things. When a challenging project or situation is distilled down, there really are only two options; do it and figure it out, or pivot to something else. Here are six actions leaders, teams, and organizations can take to help overcome the organizational or creative inertia and start to reactivate the momentum.
Root Cause Analysis: Bringing Clarity to Chaos
In business, there is often a lot of complexity and sometimes chaos. Urgent demands, unexpected changes, and shifting priorities can make it difficult to get anything done. When things spiral out of control, it is easy to feel fatigued or lost but with the right tools and techniques, clarity can be regained and solutions to even the most complex problems can be found. One of those tools is root cause analysis. With this approach, you can systematically identify the causes of a problem and develop strategies to address them.
Another Strong Case for the Generalist: Business Start-ups
In today's ever-changing business landscape, it is more important than ever to have people on business teams who are adaptable and able to pivot when necessary. With technology advancing at breakneck speed, businesses need to be able to adapt quickly or risk being left behind.
