Work through complexity

A complicated situation can be intimidating to the point you’d much rather avoid it. But once you step into it and start methodically working through it, you’ll begin to get a handle on it.

Diving into a frustrating complexity is certainly not most people’s idea of a good time. But doing so is likely to bring valuable results.

Establish a starting point by finding some aspect that you can understand and articulate. Then work outward from there.

Admit what you don’t know and be eager to ask honest questions. Seek to be humble and cooperative rather than arrogant and accusing.

Instead of trying to prove something, focus on learning all you can. In place of casting blame, identify opportunities to solve problems and improve the situation.

As daunting as it appears from the outside, there’s plenty of value hidden within complexity. Be willing to work your way through the complexity, and bring that value to life.
