Good processes come from good attitude. It is extraordinarily hard for most people (especially smart people) to be introspective on such questions when they think they already have the answer. Sometimes people think that because something works for them it will work in a group. But we know that's not always the case. So, how do we get our attitudes adjusted before hitting a wall, as many companies I've worked for did? It comes back to agreeing on a process by which we work. We have one now, it may not all be written down, but we do have it. Later, George -- George V.
