Reality Check

Is our MMT seminar for you?

Part I:  As you pursued your goals and objectives, what kinds of problems have you faced? Did they include:

• Confusing or conflicting priorities?

• A chronic shortage of resources?

• Not enough time in the day to handle everything on your "plate"?

• The "urgent" crowding out the "important?"

• Others co-opting control of what you are doing and when you are doing it?

Part II:  Has your “decision-making environment” been characterized by:

• Time pressure,

• Incomplete or partial information,

• Uncertainty,

• Ambiguity,  and
1
1• Risk.

Part III:  Possibly, on some high profile and high risk ventures, have you been haunted by special, private concerns, such as:

1• Nagging “self-doubts”:
1
1“A misjudgment here could be devastating. Did I make the right decision?"

1• A feeling of “isolation”:
1
1"While I might have the authority, I am in no position to affect tactical outcomes."
1
1"I have to rely on people, many of whom I don't even 'know,' to solve problems."
1
1"Can everyone help effectively solve the problem or is there confusion in the ranks?"
