Problem Solving The Wrong Way
So much of life and work is all about problem solving.
Most, if not all, jobs involve some form of problem solving.
In our daily life we are constantly problem solving. Which route to take, how to fit in all our errands, how to pay that bill.... and on and on.
It becomes almost routine just solving problem after problem.
Some problems are super obvious, like "which route to take".
But for so many problems, we start solutioning them without fully understanding the problem. And this often can make the problem worse.
Effectively diagnosing the problem and it's root cause is absolutely essential to fixing it. Otherwise we're either applying a bandaid or we're making the problem worse.
Knee jerk decisions are usually the wrong way to handle problems. A more methodical, big picture and root cause approach is generally the right way.
