Path for improvement
Congratulations, you figured out what the problem is. Now it’s time to get to work.
Pointing out what’s wrong is necessary. But it’s not at all sufficient.
Getting rid of a negative situation will leave an empty space. You must fill that space with a positive alternative, or the problem is sure to return.
Most likely, what’s now a problem started out with the best of intentions. Let that be a reminder that good intentions are not enough.
Beyond merely pointing out what’s broken, step up to the challenge of creating a detailed path for improvement. Then follow that path with action, with awareness, with diligence.
It’s relatively easy to tear down what doesn’t work. Any time you do, be ready to invest plenty of time crafting a brilliant and compelling replacement.
— Ralph Marston
