Come With A Solution

I have been involved in so many things lately that involve dissenting points of view. In recent meetings I've listened to so many people complain, yet they offer no solutions.

Growing up in my family, this was never an option. If you were dissatisfied with anything, you had to come prepared with a suggestion on how to solve the problem you were unhappy with.

If you had no solution, you kept your gripe to yourself.

By operating this way, my parents (particularly my father), got me to think proactively, which translates to turning a negative into a positive.

I've been involved in meetings recently with a lot of people who do not think this way, and it's been challenging. Worse there are "meeting bullies" out there who simply arrive with their own agenda's, talk over everyone else present, are disruptive, and have no intention or desire to reach a solution.

When I'm particularly challenged by such negative people I wish I had that magic button within my reach that Dr. Evil uses to flip the chair back and launch the offender into the fire pit :]]]]]]]]
