Attack problems, not people.

Attack the problems, not the people.

Oh what a difference that can make in relationships, from marriage to the workplace.

I’ve often said, that as we sit as a management team dealing with an issue: We’re not here to fix blame. We’re here to fix the problem.

Often the tendency to blame another person prevents the group from attacking the problem.

Now, not all problems can be solved. Some situations have to be managed. There are just some things in a sinful and broken world we just have to manage, not resolve.

So, acknowledge that there’s a problem. Recognize we are imperfect people working in an imperfect organization that exists in a far-from-perfect world.

Jesus said: “Judge not; then you will not be judged.
