3. TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM RATHER THAN THE PROCESS. A problem is an obstacle which makes it difficult to achieve a
desired goal, objective or purpose. Furthermore, it refers to a situation,
condition, or issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a problem
exists when an individual becomes aware of a significant difference
between what actually is and what is desired.
Although pastoring has many positives, problems run parallel on twin tracks. Trying to fix the problem rather than the process is like continuing to change diapers instead of potty-training your children.
May I offer you a piece of unsolicited advice:
You can either continue to react to the problem, or you can fix the process. 90% of the time it’s a systems-problem rather than a people-problem.
