As a manager, as a person, are you feeling frustrated?
I don’t mean just about your work, but also about the bigger picture. Environmental injustice. Human injustice. Wage injustice. Feeling unable to contribute to a solution.
What if you knew that your team, department, or company could make a bigger contribution to reducing the injustices you detest?
We can brainstorm!
Yes, you can brainstorm. That’s the easy part because there are loads of tools out there that can help you and your team come up with ideas that will support your organization’s mission and vision, and support what your team values in the process.
But this is only one part of finding the solution. A big part of the work in finding a solution happens in the planning phase. Planning includes identifying the problem (the right problem) and the goal(s) you want to achieve. Then, and only then, can you move through the next phases: coming up with ideas, choosing the idea to run with, deciding the best way to implement it, and lobbying stakeholders for their support.
