Words that Can't

Words cannot portray
what wisdom never created.

You can't write your way
out of a factual problem.

You can't talk your way
around a lapse in integrity.

You can't walk the talk
if it's just talk.

When you stop and think about it, (How often do we actually stop and think about anything at all?) this issue of deliberate change is at the root of every improvement effort. That covers Project Management, Change Management, process improvement, skills development, problem solving and all the rest.

If all of us would build in this perception as we "plan," we'd be more solidly based no matter what we might be seeking to accomplish. The implications are immense.
