This month’s leadership quote:
“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
-Albert Einstein
Typically when we discover a problem, we bring together the same team that was involved when we first launched the new product, new division, new whatever, that led to the problem we are now facing.
What if instead, we asked people who weren’t involved at the beginning to look at the situation and give us questions to consider and offer possible solutions?
Perhaps you can gather a new team to look at the problem with fresh eyes.
Or, consider asking people outside your business.
Each month Vistage members have the opportunity to ask their private advisory board to bring that different kind of thinking to the challenges they face.
Wherever you choose to go when problems arise, it’s that fresh view that leads to better results.
The initial results of my Pivot are excellent. I feel I have much greater clarity regarding the next 3-5 years..
