Planning for the future
Is it better to solve small problems and applaud these successes along the way...or
is it better to work toward solving the big problems and work towards a new vision?
Interesting, huh? I think the answer depends on where you work and the kinds of problems that you have. Other factors to take into consideration is whether or not the vision is embraced or supported.
I personally think that change should be gradual. Big changes can be made if thought out correctly but in the public sector where I work, I think it is best to applaud and reward the small successes that are made. Its tough being pummeled by the general public. Morale may be low so why not work toward solving the small, do-able stuff first? Applaud and recognize the small successes, they will get you far.
