Overwhelming Tasks; How to Handle Them.

As I was unwinding last night, I came across a new web-site which gave me some hope:

One of the things that G. Edward Griffin advocates here is to continue working on the problem. I have always been in favor of quick eradication of issues and problems and a positive re-instatement of the good. But, that doesn't always work. I have seen projects where the gutting of a team and recreation of a project from the ground up has been very effective, but you have to have completely willing stakeholders to get there. And, typically, when this is effective, the project has already hit rock-bottom.

So, how can you be effective in creating change in an organization where you don't have the authority or charter to "start over"? You have to march forward with a mission. Find the intended goal and begin to publish it. Along with that goal, publish the precepts, or principles, which will get the team to the end, and continually champion the virtues, or values, of following those principles with respect to reaching the goal. You have to go into each meeting or task with the energy to stand your ground on the principles and not get sideswiped arguing about the day-to-day exceptions and concrete examples of results, as opposed to principles.

G. Edward Griffin, as published in his web-site above, is attacking a much bigger project than I have. He is applying this methodology toward the abolition of the Federal Reserve and returning us to freedom. In that fight, I intend to help. But, we can all help modify behavior and reestablish virtue by taking the core principles to everything we do.
