Bear Shaving – Or just try to solve the problem

Would you shave this Bear?

Solving Problems

Interesting thought from Seth Godin about how to tackle problems. Godin  puts forward two possible ways to solve problems. Firstly, Godin suggests that you can “shave the bear”. That means do what is needed to patch over the problem, a bit like putting a bucket under a drip, gladwrap over a broken window or the like. The second option is a more direct solution to the problem, the bear only needs to be shaved because global warming will kill it otherwise. I like the second option. Solving the problems may not be as easy or as fast or as cheap to execute, however, solving the real problems that are going on helps to enable you to get on with more meaningful task.
