Stop Fixing Symptoms: Diagnose the Real Problem [3790]
from Work On Your Game: Business Strategy & Execution Hosted by Dre Baldwin
Working harder on the wrong problem keeps the real constraint in place. A weak diagnosis can waste time, money, and effort even when the solution is executed well. I explain why people treat symptoms instead of causes, why the obvious explanation deserves scrutiny, and how repeatedly asking why can reveal the root issue. Find the right problem before committing more resources to the fix.
