Admit It: We Don't Have All the Answers By Ourselves

We often believe we know what is best for others without bothering to get to know them intimately and ask them what they want for themselves. I have seen that way too much in my administrative meetings over the years. I believe that if we stopped making this assumption and simply asked others for their input, most of these problems would disappear - sometimes because the "solutions" would be manifest, but other times because we will realize that they really aren't major problems in the first place.
