there's no bigger obstacle in the further development process than a person

the way our world works today only exaserbates this issue too

we are taught to fight vs. find consensus as a group

we tend to dig our heels in vs. open up our minds to other ways

we fight changing the story in our minds

so we often become obstacles in the process

we require time & effort to change our minds

to allow the new ideas & approaches to percolate

with this concerted effort though

we do often come around & often accept exploring the new path further

coming its pros & cons to the other paths of consideration

problem is we all do this on very different schedules

we all must do this within the constraints of other responsibilities of life

things come up all the time that prevent us from doing the required work

this problem only gets worse as more individuals join the team

now any one team member can become an obstacle at any time

and added all together the available time to interact together disappears

so my solution path has focused on creating a process

that mostly has everyone working on their own

but sharing ideas & option paths with everyone else on the team

people are far better at critiquing something than creating original ideas

it only takes one new idea of consideration to spark everyone else

the issue is we never know which team member will have the spark at a particular time

so i have found the old leadership hierarchy model does not work very well

different people take on the leader position at different times

and to keep things moving forward we should embrace this reality
