Seed: Do Solutions

Many years ago, I had a smart assistant—a really smart assistant. We got ourselves into a serious bollix with an airplane ticket, and she felt completely defeated. She brought me the problem in spades along with sighs, complaints and the general malaise of failure.

I looked at her carefully for a long moment of silence, and said, “You are no longer allowed to bring me problems. Or, if you must, you must also bring me a solution.” Then I turned back to my work.

She sat in stunned silence for a moment. After all, I’m known for my gentleness most of the time. Then, although she didn’t know I was watching her, I saw her grin. Her energy was restored, renewed, and revitalized. Within the next 20 minutes, she returned to me with the solution. It’s been a laugh between us ever since. (And I think she’s used it on her own assistants since then.)

Amory Lovins is an outside the box environmental thinker. His quote inspired this Seed, “I don’t do problems, I do solutions.”

Me, too.

Be passion,
