When we face one particular issue, the worst thing you can do, is change multiple things at once without knowing precisely what reaction you are going to have.
You need to work through the issue systematically starting with a root cause analysis.
Then you start fixing what you have perceived the issue is, starting with some of the most basic and fundamental changes and working your way down the list.
The scorched earth policy is the last resort of the IT worker *this is a wipe and reinstallation of whatever you are doing from the beginning, or a replacement of said system/device*.
We started with scorched earth and are trying to get a system online and are having people complain that its not working yet when we have barely even begun (for reference see noise re teague and ability to coach).
I've always argued that we should never have gone down the 'rebuild' track.
Stupid, stupid idea that was never guaranteed to be successful.
We're virtually back to where we were at the start of 2015, before we started this journey.
But that's history now and we're committed to this path.
Probably shouldn't call it a rebuild anymore though.
The problem is we see clubs like Brisbane who just a few years ago were in a similar bottom position to where we found ourselves and have quickly bought themselves back to a more than competitive level.
IT may give us a good example of process.
But it lacks one key element and that's the emotional factor.
Folks aren't upset at just this season.
They're upset at the last 20 years.
Why are some more impatient?
Well folks around my age can't afford another 20 years....we're likely to not be around.
Maybe that's an emotional response....but emotion is the heart of this game.
