The plane stays in motion but finds another path to the destination. Where I see some people get stuck is they had a single path in mind and when they get blocked, they get stuck. Taking action forces you to explore more options to find a way forward.J.D.

On the first leg of the flight, we routed around a chain of thunderstorms and rough air. There was never any doubt as to our objective (getting to the specific airport) but the pilot made the decisions necessary to get us there safest under the circumstances (applying his criteria for meeting the objective)<BR/><BR/>be well<BR/>RickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628819324496679278.post-36389298867189022522008-06-14T23:08:00.000-07:002008-06-14T23:08:00.000-07:00@Vered - I'm a fan of course correcting too, wheth...@Vered - I'm a fan of course correcting too, whether that means dropping, changing or refining them. I think the key to correcting course is continuously asking -- "what do you want to accomplish?" <BR/><BR/>@Shilpan - I'll add that developing sensory acuity is helpful for knowing whether you're moving towards or away from your objectives, when quantitative measurement is lacking or difficult.J.D.

I agree with Mr. Ducker that objective has to be 1) specific 2) measurable and 3)monitored.<BR/><BR/>ShilpanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628819324496679278.post-11751656826392313722008-06-09T13:32:00.000-07:002008-06-09T13:32:00.000-07:00I completely agree that we need to be flexible and...I completely agree that we need to be flexible and always remember that it's OK to change our objectives and let go of old objectives that don't work for us anymore.Vered https://www.blogger.com/profile/09453358346751699999noreply@blogger.com
