Let's talk about roots!

Most people run away from conflict when, for me, a lot of good things come out of conflict.
Conflicts are like trees. What we see is not the root of the problem.?
It is important that as a work team we are willing to talk about the conflicts and also to discuss what we tend to keep quiet about.?
As my friend Dr. Georg Michalik / Mr. Co-Creation says the elephant of the problem.
Do you know the five whys technique? It is a tool to see the roots of the problem and not to stay with the superficial ones.?
Sakichi Toyoda, Japanese industrialist, inventor and founder of Toyota Industries, developed the 5 Whys technique in the 1930s. It became popular in the 1970s and Toyota continues to use it today to solve problems.
I recommend you to read the following article?5 Whys - Getting to the Root of a Problem Quickly (mindtools.com)

Thanks for mentioning us (and our article) in your article, Navarro, much appreciated. I recently wrote a post about the same article. I was wondering if we could learn something from pre-schoolers: have you heard how many times they'll say "Why?" They persist - until they have an answer or until you've run out of answers! Anyway, the "5 Whys" is a great model and one we love using too. – Yolande Conradie (she-her), MT

1 年Thank you Navarro Elias for opening the discussion for this important topic. Question to all of you: If we would "dare to say", if we would constantly address the elephant in the room, how would it change your individual life, our organizations and our world?
