In my recent article, Job Stalled? Do What the Proň€™s Do, I discussed how when things arenň€™t going well or when results have changed, it may be time to get back to the basics.

If we get away from these basics things go sideways.
My brother Jim served in the U.S. Army for 17 years. Today, he works for the Department of Homeland Security, training first responders for emergencies. That sounds like a natural transition, but between those two jobs, Jim spent about a decade years in private business, where his boss couldnň€™t tell AWACS from ASVAB. He had to learn to translate his military experience into the language that civilian employers could understand.
