What makes a problem a problem? A problem always contains two parts: One-half of a problem is an expectation or desire for a different reality or outcome. What would we like to see or experience? The second half is the reality that conflicts with that expectation or desire. For instance, if a leader wants the team to take risks, it is only a problem if the team is risk-averse. A problem only exists when the two halves are at odds. It is the desire for a different outcome or reality that creates any problem.
I have found that this leadership skill is falling behind in todays fast paced multitasking get it done now era we are living in.
Really love the Harrison Ford example here. Nice stuff.
