Leading through a Process

Defining the Problem

• In our rush to solution we often fail to take the time to really define the problem.

• Getting consensus on the scope of the problem often really helps get people on board. Different constituents see different parts of the proverbial elephant.

• In the sometimes time consuming process of refining the problem statement into operational terms – we can learn a lot about our team process and focus

Don’t reinvent the wheel

• Brainstorm – Yes! It helps you involve everyone and consider various causes for and perspectives on the issue. Then…….

• Determine strategies with evidence behind them and determine how to educate your community about them.
