I Am Often Wrong
4 hours ago
- The author's problem-solving approach involves six iterative steps: understand available information, gather missing information, define the problem, define a clear and simple approach, define a goal, and act with urgency.
- New information often requires revisiting and redefining steps 3–5, making the process iterative and adaptable.
- The most common failure modes are failing to clearly define the problem and failing to define a clear and simple approach, leading to complex plans and unclear success criteria.
- The author values being wrong because it helps refine the problem, find the right solution, and accelerate learning.
- Real-time feedback is encouraged to help individuals and teams learn more quickly and avoid these failure modes.
