How to Coach Yourself and Others Happiness Is No Accident | Page 100

The best way to actually remove an obstacle is to get at the root cause of the obstacle and change
that. This type of change results in the longest-lasting and most stable elimination of an obstacle.
Move Aside
Take the obstacle and put it in a place or situation where it is no longer in the path of the team.

In a team's physical environment, this may be as simple as changing the tools that the team is
using. For example, if the team is all in a room together, move computer monitors that are
blocking team member's views of each other. If there is a useless checkpoint that work results have
to go through, get management to eliminate it.
