Someone once described the situation as we’re pouring water into a bucket with holes in it and for a solution we’re not looking to plug the holes but merely pour more water into it.
A great description and a type of problem solving I see all the time.
The finance team just can’t seem to hold on to an accounts payable specialist. But instead of changing the job spec they’ve vowed to inform HR to start recruiting as soon as they receive the notice.
Instead of taking a good hard look at defending better the coach encourages the strikers to score more so they can win the game by outscoring the opposition.
Instead of confronting Aunt Agatha about her aggressive manner Judy is looking to get better at consoling the victims.
