As professional problem solvers, our first task is to define the problem, even when faced with preconceived solutions or impatient stakeholders.
This task is very tricky because when we are busy formulating problem statements, other stakeholders are ready to implement solutions.
In a buzzing world full of distractions, defining problems is perhaps too old-fashioned. However, as true leaders and problem solvers, we would rather be slow and precise than fast and furious!
