Root Cause Analysis Guiding Purpose

When helping people learn from things that go wrong, it is important to remember that:

1. You are there to help people learn from things that go wrong.  This is what separates our endeavor from all other endeavors.

2. You are there to help people embrace failure as their most valuable learning opportunity, encouraging its exploration rather than running from it as they might have in the past.

3. You are there to help people to identify the significant few problems in their lives -- so that they can focus their efforts on them.

4. You are there to help people to stop before they try to solve their problems -- and focus first on evidence for guidance.

5. You are there to help people look into the true causes of their own problems, no matter what the answers might be. 

6. You are there to help people to go beyond the human when trying to understand the causes of their problems, no matter what the circumstances look like ahead of time. 

7. You are there to help people to take the time to translate what they are learning, so that that others can understand. 

8. You are there to help people confront their significant latent issues. 

9. You are there to help people form their own Mother-Source so that they can bulldoze through all their barriers. 

10. Most importantly, you are there to help people see themselves as part of their problems instead of blaming things on others.
