Which do you prefer, a quick win or a quick solution or the mile deep thinking approach to things?
Well, I know most of us want a solution to a problem. Period. And in our desire to get a problem solved right away, we sometimes settle for quick fixes, whose impact are short-lived. Also, many of us don’t want to go through some process and spend along the way, if we know there’s an easier, faster, and cheaper way of doing things.
However, in these trying times, I think it’s about time that we think of long-term solutions to our problems. We need to shift to the mile deep thinking to enjoy long-term benefits and savings.
