JUST START AGAIN

JUST START AGAIN

I don't know if you have ever felt the frustration of trying to correct something that began on the wrong foot. Deep down you know that the beginning was poor, but you secretly keep hoping that things will work out, and that someone else will correct the problem. You spend a great deal of energy working on repairs, fire fighting and unclogging systems blocks. You pay penalties for inefficiency and have to do something over several times before it comes out the way you want. But even then, you know it is not the best. This can go on for years and decades and in some countries for centuries. Deep down you know what you should do. You should start again. You should start again and lay a new foundation for the future you want to build. It does not matter how long this has been going on, nothing will change until you start again. I know because I have had to start again in one department after fifteen years. Don't let yours get this bad.

Allan
