Identify and analyze alternative courses of action-Leaders should seek input from multiple sources to interpret and analyze the problem/opportunity to come up with as many options as possible to solve the issue. 

Once the problem/opportunity has been identified, alternative courses of action should be explored. Potential solutions should be discussed with key stakeholders and decision makers to get their input on possible changes that could help address the issue. The various options should then be analyzed in terms of their potential impact and any associated risks or drawbacks. After careful consideration, a final course of action can then be chosen which best fits the organization’s needs and goals.
