What should I change to?

The pressures to enact changes are immense. We are experiencing new, and frequently unexcited challenges, that demand a rapid response. A change is clearly needed. The challenge is determining what you need to change to. Accomplishing this task requires you to define your problem precisely. Rush to a solution, and you will be returning to the same set of problems all over again. Understand the conditions that created your problem, and you will have a very clear picture of what you must change. This process is easy to dismiss at the outset, when your managers want to see action. Take the time to properly understand your situation, and your actions will have a significantly longer impact.
