A permanent solution to a temporary problem becomes a permanent problem. So says @naval. It's an important warning. Sometimes we become so focussed on the problem that we fail to see that it's only temporary. But in our panic to find a solution, we establish complex systems and procedures to solve that problem. Instead, before we implement a solution, we should first consider the likely lifespan of the problem. Next, consider the consequences of the problem. If it's not a long term problem with major consequences, we certainly don't need a permanent solution. In fact, we may not even need a solution at all. #problemsolving #solutionfocused #problemmanagement
