Four Issues
• Linearization‒ Most models linear‒ Most problems systemic or process-based
• Cognitive Dissonance and Recidivism‒ Cognitive Dissonance
• Multiple potential solutions cause anxiety• Decision maker may switch paths repeatedly to avoid failure• Focus becomes decision-making process vs making decisions
‒ Recidivism – Behavior is repeated at each step
• Problem-Solving Creep‒ Problems expand to consume available resources‒ Continued tinkering may ruin viable solutions
• Avoidance – Fear of failure

How do you go about loving your enemies? I think the first thing is
this: In order to love your enemies, you must begin by
analyzing self.
Martin Luther King, Jr
If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles;
if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies
nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.
Sun Tzu
