I try not to use these two phrases often:
- It is what it is.
- We don’t know what we don’t know.
This will probably not sit well with some and that’s not my intention. Let me explain why. My intention is to dive deeper to understand learn and grow as a person and as a professional.
These two phrases that I have used earlier in my career were useful to a point and I stopped using them years ago.
I found that they are typically used as cop-outs. Or to deflect accountability and ownership. To give up. To deflect the issue off to someone else to figure out. To push the issue down the line. At best. To buy more time.
My strategy is to ask more questions in order to determine what is lacking and chart a course of action. That’s what I’ve developed and excelled at throughout the years. I’ve broadened my thought process and approach, as well as my armory of questions to help me discover a solution to any given circumstance or difficulty.
Always have an open mind and be prepared to pivot or adjust in order to break through the barrier of “it is what it is.” Pose inquiries. Not simply the normal questions and answers to go past the ‘we don’t know what we don’t know’ stage.
Starting today, I plan to provide a bunch of short video reels with one question for every clip. Some will be evident, while others may not be. Hopefully, many of these will be beneficial.
