Do not put AWK without FIX

There was this editor,  working for  Kerry Patterson, a former professor, who was given the task of editing the work of the professor.  One time there was this handwritten script of Kerry, and the editor much to his dismay, could not decipher a line.   So he placed the editor's note:  AWK

When the good professor saw the editor's note, he said:  " Dont ever give an A-W-K without a F-I-X. "  The editor worked harder and fixed the sentences that were awkward.

How many times do we see marketing simply throw questions after questions to 3ffb, unmindful of the fact that they must think of the answers before they call, because that is the only we way we learn and grow - by thinking of solutions ;   or engineer making us solve the problems that they are supposed to think solutions for

What are the lessons here:

1.  Do not stop at problems, always come to your boss with a solution/option

2.  Have relevant facts/data to back your options/solution;

3.  Practice critical thinking:

     Ask why many times;

     Question the assumption/hypothesis.

     Practice catalytic questioning.

We can be more productive and multiply our talents and the organization if we practice this.

We do not view problems only;  we solve them and make things happen. <not merely watching things happen or do not bother to know what is happening
