In our work lives when something isn't working, we struggle with what part of the problem to tackle first.  Do we start with cost reduction?  What about morale?  Or should we go for process improvements first? We pick the problem to work on, and depending on whether our plan makes sense, one of two things happen.  First, we fail--and then we add "frustration" to our list of problems. Two, we succeed, and then some new problem pops out to replace the old.  We cut 10% out of our budget, and our star performers leave in frustration because we sliced what they saw as a critical program.  It's as though the system we're working on is an old inner tube.  The moment we patch one hole and add pressure, another spot tears open.
