How many times have you made a New Year’s resolution, only to have it last for less than a week? Have you ever wondered why that is? Perhaps it’s because the change was only a behavioral change, and didn’t address the root cause of the problem. I know I tell my teams quite often, “Please find out what was the root cause of the issue so we can fix it permanently.” If we only focus on the symptom, we’ll never have a long-term change. The only long-lasting solution is to uncover the root cause and then we can begin working on the change, the self-development, we want to see in ourselves. Finding that root cause is what will help you think in a new way. Where are you going to dig today?
