The One Thing

399 How do you bring a problem to your leader? (Russ Smidt)


Listen Later

Raising issues with your leader or your team can be tough—too many ideas may overwhelm, confuse or burden them unnecessarily, or it might intimidate you. Russ Smidt from MTS created a tool to help you present problems to your leader or team effectively.


  1. What's the issue? How do you get this down to a sentence
  2. What's the options? why are options important?
  3. What's your recommendation?
  4. What's the concrete next step?


  • How do you get the issue down to a sentence?
  • Why are the options important?
  • Why does it need to be a paper and not merely a conversation?
  • The potential dangers
  • Who needs to be one who writes it
  • What is the difference between this and coaching tools?


Russ is the Director of Training with the Ministry Training Strategy
