I Like The Cut Of His Jib !!

Musings, leadership tidbits and quotes posted by a retired Navy Captain (really just a high performing 2nd Class Petty Officer) who hung up his uniform a bit too early. He still wears his Navy service on his sleeve. He needs to get over that. "ADVANCE WARNING - NO ORIGINAL THOUGHT!" A "self-appointed" lead EVANGELIST for the "cryptologic community". Keeping CRYPTOLOGY alive-one day and Sailor at a time. 2015 is 80th Anniversary of the Naval Security Group.

Short Issues To Ground

If you sense that your organization is spending more time on the bureaucracy of solving a problem than on the actual solution, you need to simplify the problem-solving process.

"Shorting issues to ground" means finding the quickest path - from problem to solution - avoiding the non-value-adds procedures and delays.

I do not know where you came up with this little schematic but the words “shorting issues to ground”does nothing but blow the fuze, was that meant to happen?

I think 'blowing the fuse', in this case, is equally appropriate to the situation.; February 21, 2012 at 12:30 PM
