The answer is not that they are all problems. In fact, they are all symptoms. And they are all things that plenty of people will have stock answers for. Put them in ISS, put them on an action plan, redo your parking lot. \r\n\r\nAnd if we are stuck in urgent mode, we might be tempted to jump at these stock answers because acting is better than doing nothing and because it seems like the answers will fix the issue. Unfortunately, the answers only address the symptom, and, in each case (discipline, teaching, car lines) if we don’t invest in identifying the problem, our actions may be wasted.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/R9NMe_5dyHuYObgJIvbL7uDONkSHVV41r7Q-QyBj5Y8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE1MDYzLzE2MzEx/ODcxMjItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
