Problem Assessment


"The soft stuff is always harder than the hard stuff."


Roger Enrico

Former president/CEO PepsiCo


What do you suppose he meant by this?

My guess would be it has to do with our perception of what is/will be difficult.

I know I have over/under estimated numerous problems and in doing so, created bigger ones.

  1. I think you're right about that. Our ideas about a project or task influence how we approach it, and may cloud our judgment. Better to simply look at the reality of each moment - now that's a tough assignment.

  2. Self-fulfilling prophecy is one of the biggest impediments to success. If I expect trouble, I'll probably get it.
