For every success, big or small
Ask “why success”, Capability/External factors?
And “what if external factors change”
For every failure, big or small
Ask “why”, take RCA beyond external factors
And “What needs to change”
Many opportunities to prepare

39Prabhakar Karve wayofworking.org
Separate facts from fiction (Opinions)
Say “I know”, followed by “Because…”
Or say “I assume/believe”, with reality check
Be aware of current emotions
Experience them fully and then move on
We have a choice of systems to be part of
Decide mode - participation or interaction
Reveal hidden options
