Trying to fix the wrong cause of a problem will waste time and resources, increase anxiety and even cause chaos. Therefore, the deeper you understand the problem, the easier you could frame the problem, and the better chance you could solve it effectively.

Governance Rule #1 from an Ancient Parable’s Manifestation: Prevention is more Superior than Fixing According to an ancient parable, there were three brothers who were all physicians, the youngest was the most famous one, but he was very humble, when others asked him which of them was the most skilled in the art of healing, he replied: my elder brother had better skill than me, he cures sickness when it is still extremely minor, so his name does not get out of the neighborhood; my eldest brother has the best skill, because he can perceive the spirit of sickness and remove it before it takes the shape, so his name does not get out of the house. As for me, I puncture veins, prescribe potions, and massage skin, so from time to time my name gets out and is heard all over the kingdom. It manifests the classic management paradox: Nobody ever gets credit for preventing problems that never happened. From governance perspective, what can we learn from it? Should “prevention is superior to fixing” be the #1 rule of governance principle?
