Do you ever look at a problem or situation you are trying to solve and ask yourself, "What am I missing?" We can be so focused on something that the best thing we can do is take a step back, re-evaluate, and think/look at things in a completely different manner. Recently I was able to watch the movie Moneyball. A great movie I highly recommend to all. It is based on the true events of the Oakland A's management and how they re-invent the way the game of baseball is being managed and played. We can all learn from this. Just because something has been done one way for many years does not mean it is the best way.
In every situation take a step back and ask yourself the following question, "Are we asking the right questions and do we truly know what the problem is?" Only then can you truly begin to evaluate things and move in the best direction. Think differently and Strive4Excellence!
