I have found the problem, it is I.







Blaming others is easy and allows us to deny the reality, that we may be the problem or the one causing the problem.



We try to solve problems by changing partners, friends, and team members but rarely ourselves.





 A sure sign of a problematic person is one who sees negative things in everyone and everything all the time.



 Are you the problem or the solution?

    I posted one a while back. I am surprised it has not appeared. Any way here is a repost of my thought.
    Gurvinder, while I agree with your analysis, I do not with the trending solution. 'I' has to be 'WE' to see his reflections. While being critical of everything and not retaining the 'WE' identity, to admit oneself as a problem or a solution is a mixed bag. For the change I has to merge with WE.

    You are probably right, that in many situations there are many more people involved and we would be more appropriate. However even in a group change always occurs when there is an individual who champions the solution or the change.
    Insightful feedback I thank you

The neck of the bottle is always at the top.

        F requently requested to assist organisations large and small, I observe a common and recurring theme.  The issues revolve around the struggle of owners /managers to manage effectively. This is visible predominantly in companies that have started small and are growing, in family run businesses and families themselves. They are invariably puzzled that management approach, style and methods which worked so well in the past, now just don't work anymore. They resort to even more hard work and effort, yet the situation only worsens. Finding themselves in unfamiliar situations they dart here and there implementing fads, half hearted strategies alien to their thinking and character. They do this because they are getting frustrated and doing something is considered better than doing nothing. They change staff and managers. They churn product mix, vendors and even customers and markets. They try so many things but nothing seems to work. They chang...

You have to play the game to win it.

In life its not sufficient to be merely efficient but to also be effective. Someone once asked my father Man Singh ji, 'What is the secret of your success?'  He remarked, "I do not always make right decisions. I make decisions, and then almost always make them right" Read more ..........

The boss is always right

It was in 1502 that the egoistic mayor of Florence (Italy) Piero Soderini was under great pressure. He had appointed a novice to work on a giant piece of beautiful marble to make a sculpture under his guidance. Typical of many bosses Soderini had overestimated his own capabilities and by drilling a big hole in the middle of the block of marble Soderini and the novice had ruined it. Soderini had to find a solution, and  finally commissioned Michelangelo to do a sculpture . Michelangelo agreed and using the available shape decided to sculpt a young David with a sling in his hand. A few weeks later as the statue was finished, Soderini came to see the sculpture for himself. Soderini was pleased with what he saw. However like many patrons and bosses Soderini had to impose his ideas and have the last word. Soderini instructed Michelangelo to change the shape of the nose because it was too big. Michelangelo grasped the situation immediately realising th...
