I was mentoring a very successful Certified Legal Nurse Consultant who was upset because of an issue with a subcontractor. The problem was legitimate, but this CLNC® consultant was more focused on harping about the problem than she was on working out the solution.
My advice: “Seems to me you can’t change the problem, but you can change how you view the problem and you can move quickly and decisively to do something about it.” She agreed it was time to hire a subcontractor who would better serve her.
Occasionally I too play the harp (pretty well), but I find the sooner I get off of it and on to real solutions, the happier and more successful I am.
I’m Just Sayin’
P.S. Comment and share what you do to put down the proverbial harp and move on to solutions to the problem.
