There is a difference between fixing things and consulting.

Today I learned that to open a door, you can shoot it with a bazooka or use the handle. Two ways to fix a problem, but one is smarter than the other.

Why you should stop asking people to fix things but to consult you.

Someone that can offer some suggestions, raise the right questions, implement their own frameworks.

There is a difference between fixing things and consulting.

If the task is to open the door,

  • The fix guy will shoot with a bazooka and tell you this is ok, now you can enter.
  • The consultant will build a door handle so that you can still close the door when needed.

In both cases, they answered what the client wanted.

But the consultant also addressed what they needed.

I build the door handle and enter with the bazooka 😂

More seriously though, what is your best advice to solve problems ? We got to be smart + effective, right ?
