This week's newsletter zoomed in on the first module of the Thinking Differently training series: Defining the Problem ?? ?? "When a big problem comes along, it’s natural to want to solve it right away... But if you don’t first slow down, share what you know, and prioritize, you could end up wasting time and effort on the wrong part of the problem.” — Jake Knapp, Sprint Does this urge to jump into solving sound familiar? I'm a problem-solver at my core and it's SO easy for me to want to skip right to solutioning when I first hear about an issue. I want to start fixing things right away! But this quote reminds us of the importance of patience and taking time to really understand the situation so we can come up with the best solutions. Check out the newsletter (link in comments) to see an example of implementing a solution without knowing the real issue and read about how you can ensure you are working on solutions that will have an actual impact!
