Hi Steve,

I agree: we have to do a reality check before trundling into action on the basis of a first take of a situation. And getting input from your peers to that reality check can be a big help.

And, in the end, we are all responsible for the situations we create or tolerate – so we are responsible for resolving them, as well.

Thanks for emphasizing that vital point – and thanks for your kind comments!

Jim,

I enjoyed the clear, level-headed and even-handed approach to micromanagers. Checking with your colleagues to get their take is sound advice.

But I think the real theme here is that we’re all responsible for dealing with our own situations and finding out who (if any “one”) is the cause.
