Dig for Reality

Surface issues come with surface solutions. You pave over the underlying issue and you leave it to wreak havoc another day. Effective professionals don't take the pass. They ask the "why" question over and again to root out the underlying issue. They dig a bit deeper to determine if a system is awry or merely a process has gone sour. And, then they work it. They identify the root cause and make a practical assessment if it is something that can be yanked out or something that is going to take a bit more of a strategic de-rooting. But, they don't stop at the surface. Dig.
