GET A CAULDRON AND MIX THEM ALL

There are many approaches and methods that one can use to deal with a management issue. Not all of them, though can get you directly to the solution. 

Some are too cumbersome, you don't even want to embark on the program. Even for the personal empowerment solutions, you wonder if the nine steps towards debt-free lifestyle can make you even broke!

That nine steps or twelve stages will not get you closer to your destination unless you break it down and only use what is pragmatic for your situation.

Blindly following the prescribed actions without considering if it is appropriate, value-adding, and practically easy to execute is wasting precious time and effort.

Do the needful-get a big cauldron and mix them all.


1. What gets traction, has long-term promise & viability, and resonates well with the culture and direction of your organization? 

2. Aside from costs, what time commitment and effort are involved?

3. Who is championing this and will ensure that things get done properly?

If you find it difficult answering these questions, then you have yet to learn about the proposed solution and get your head down to work. 

Look for evergreen principles and eschew the fads and newer models.

In five years, these will fade and you will be surprised Drucker's ideas are as relevant as fifty years ago!
