Sometimes I work repetitively with a leader, and progress comes agonizingly slow. When I read Andy Stanley's new book, The Principle of the Path, I found an interesting distinction that might help.
"Solving a problem" is not the same thing as "choosing a new path." It's amazing how individuals--leaders--will continue the same behavior over and over, expecting to derive a different (better) outcome. There is an underlying expectation that change will occur--that something "out there" will be different and yield a better outcome. After years of solving problems myself, I realize that a new set of behaviors, even a new paradigm, is required for significant improvement to occur.
Maybe “Choosing a New Path vs. Solving a Problem” will make a difference for some readers.
