I like this topic because it highlights an important problem in management today: being able to recognize a problem. More specifically, being able to determine root cause in areas where data is not readily available, instead we make it up. Fortunately I think this practice is limited within the minority of professionals versus the majority. Unfortunately, the practice is getting more and more popular as "soft skills" are emphasized without data analysis. Most people though, who aren't as educated with the latest and greatest MBA, can see through the manipulation of data and fabrication of "problems." We are usually able to deal with the real problems at hand. Nice post. Keep up the good work. Hi John,
