I was conversing with a collaborator, and he was frustrated over problems in his team. The discussion centered around issues being raised without any solutions presented.
His stance is, “Don’t bring me problems without solutions.”
Then this little nugget came into my life – No solutions. Only trade-offs.
I take it to mean that problems are perceived, not inherent. And there isn’t a way to solve one of them. Rather, it’s deciding on a course based on the merits of each possible path.
