The wisdom of Albert Einstein (part 2)

"If I had an hour to solve a problem,

          I would spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem

                   and 5 minutes thinking about solutions."

Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

See, sometimes it isn't the problem that's the problem….

Sometimes we start to squabble about competing solutions before we agree on what the problem is.

We could use a standard problem-solving technique: no discussion of solutions is allowed until each person can state the problem in a way that satisfies everyone else.
