ACQUIRING – Challenge Points and Choices
Once Janet zeros in on defining Eagle’s problem, she can acquire necessary resources–essential for problem resolution.
And why not gain access to those nice-to-have resources that will make our desired change happen easier and faster?
Resources don’t just lie around waiting to be accessed. Assessing, scrounging, trading, borrowing, persuading and prioritizing are skills that every change agent worth his or her salt must acquire and use.
Have you ever had to make-do? Figure out what you have on hand to get to where you want to go? Then, figure some more—and come up with ways you can get there, using what you have?
It takes imagination, creative thinking and persistence.
Janet needs your insights.
Help her identify available resources and those she has to secure or do without.
And, be sure to post any that you find in Linking Agents’ Best. Here, you will find what other Linking Agents across the country consider best practices, best web links, best books and best tools and tips for achieving desired change.
In this exercise, there are five Challenge Points. Each presents you with four sets of response options. After reading the first three choices, pick the one that sounds best to you. If none exactly hits the mark, please jot down what you would chose to do.
Of course you can refer to the narrative, Scene 4– Don’t Count Your Chickens.
Select one of the Challenge Points to begin.
