Most of the time, we operate from the premise of past success and hence do not evaluate as to whether those approaches still work for the current or future scenarios . This really restricts creative and innovative strategic thinking and hence we toil more to solve or pro-actively anticipate events. Identifying beasts are not a simple thing as many of the beasts have become part of our life (without them our existence becomes difficult). Therefore the challenge is to tame the beast in a meticulous manner or annihilate them for more value added work. Thank you for the wonderful eye opener topic.

I work in a manufacturing firm as a maintenance expert and my beast, typically is complaints regarding mal-functioning of equipment or a breakdown leading to stoppage of production. These are the problems which eat away most of my time at work, leaving little energy to focus on long term. I know the beast but for some time now, I am struggling to tame it. Hope I find a way out soon. Anyway thanks a lot for verbalizing my problem. Going by your suggestions, step number one is to identify the beast.
