Ask A Fool - I thought this card related to me and my project because I have noticed on a few different occasions that I may over-thinking a problem. I will spend a ton of time during the day and let it carry over to the next day and then to the next week. When I go talk to talk to one of my guys on floor, they just look at me like I am crazy and throw out an answer that is so simple, I don't know how I didn't see it.
Check Your Timing - This card also relates to me because I have found from experience that timing is everything. I have brought up ideas or some ideas that my guys thought of to some of the upper management, and at the time, they are dismissed. Whether it is because we are right in the middle of a project or something was just officially released, it gets overlooked. Then a year or two later, we find out that something isn't working and it was the same solution that we brought up before, while everyone was too busy to deal with it. Maybe if I had set up a meeting or was in one one of the design reviews when this subject was being talked about, I could have saved a year or two of heart ache.
Be Dissatisfied - When I first started at my job, I didn't always agree with the way that we did things. I was new and inexperienced, so I didn't think it was my place to say anything or make a stink about it. Now that I have been working here for three years, I have learned that I am not just going to deal with things that I don't agree with. I am slowly vocalizing my issues with things and learned that the first resolution isn't always the best. I keep playing with models or processes until they work the way that I need them to. I go through the correct channels to make sure that everything is OK, but I don't stop until it works for me and my people.
