PSA: Fixing the wrong problem is still a problem. So much of work is about solving problems. And yet, we tend to simplify the process and skip a crucial aspect: Identifying and defining the problem we’re trying to solve. Taking time to pause and define the problem doesn’t prevent teams and companies from moving quickly. You can still iterate. You can still dream big and try new things. In fact, by understanding what you’re addressing and what direction you’re headed, you can act more quickly, with fewer reversals and less frustration. Here are some of the benefits when you define the problem before taking action: ?? An opportunity to gather relevant facts ?? Space to methodically identify root causes and develop action plans ?? An opportunity to develop more holistic solutions ?? A chance to thoughtfully consider the impact on your people #problemsolving #teamwork #collaboration
