Do we regard it as a problem or an opportunity? Is it a barrier or a stepping stone? Are words to be ignored? Should only actions be considered? Is our knowledge of precedent clouding the picture or sharpening our insight? Has a new fact been introduced which entirely changes the game?
The moment we attach a label, we will either facilitate or inhibit effective action. As a result, labels should be regarded with caution and later re-checked to see if their accuracy has eroded.
Seeing what is in front of us is one of the greatest challenges of leadership and management.

At my age, there is such a thing as an impossible obstacle; and, these steps are it. Unless, of course, my management guru can figure out a way to carry me up. We 99 percenters need a helping hand.
Rick,
A rifle does wonders.
