Whether it’s a thorn or a dam, an obstacle can stop progress. As a leader, it falls on your shoulders to remove obstacles. Here are 4 simple steps to obliterate obstacles:

1. Find the consensus that something is truly an obstacle.
2. Next, gain clarity on the obstacle and label it.
3. Facilitate a shared vision for the difference that removing the obstacle will make.
4. Finally, collaboratively identify how to successfully eliminate the obstacle.
