1. The problems - CE principle   

People experience problems in all areas of their lives, both at work and in the private sphere. If people aren’t having problems, they don’t want to change anything. Anyone who sees a current situation as a problem feels a need to solve that problem.

Problems (manager) I am concerned that my employee still generates such low turnover. I am concerned that my employee always says what’s not working. I am concerned that there is no discipline at conferences. I am concerned that my boss almost never gives any praise.

Problems (doctor) I am concerned that my medical assistant is not friendlier towards patients. I am concerned that patients simply use me as an emotional dustbin. I am concerned that the pharmaceutical representative wastes my time. I am concerned that my assistants don’t organise their work properly.

Problems (staff) I am concerned that my boss doesn’t take time for me. I am concerned that my boss virtually criticises me in front of all my colleagues. I am concerned that my boss wants to change my behaviour. I am concerned that my colleagues don’t plan properly.

Problems (staff) I am concerned that my boss doesn’t take time for patients. I am concerned that my boss criticises me in front of patients. I am concerned that patients get upset about long waiting times. I am concerned that my boss almost never gives any praise.

Problems (private) I am concerned that my wife/husband is constantly nagging me. I am concerned that my husband/wife has too little time for me. I am concerned that my children don’t tidy their rooms. I am concerned that my colleagues don’t plan properly.

The CE principle describes the causes of all these problems!

It describes the ever repetitive and identical paradigm for the problem arising and for dealing with it, in both the professional and private spheres.

It offers everyone a basis on which to analyse their own successes and also their failures. It thus enables personal control with the aim of enhancing personal success.
