Thinking is being overrated and confused.
Most of the time, attention, patience (dedication to the process), and good will is what’s required for the good solution for the good problem to come up and be delivered.
Good ideas and solutions include actual ex*****on: problem statement, discovery, research, development, testing, evaluation, scaling, iterative sharpening. Ideas without ex*****on happen when there’s no match in all of: specific situation, people, time (and other resources).
The problem is “thinking” usually involves stress and efforts. Although, most of the time, we want the solution to the root cause to be delivered. The efforts don’t matter, in the business context. Actually, the business wants the least amount of efforts for the best poss solution. It’s called efficiency.
Most of the time, good ideas and good solutions are “just coming”. Efforts and stress not always help for those ideas and solutions to being observed. I say “not always”, because some people I know can just “flow” naturally from the vague problem statement to the best solution delivery, while being stressed. Although, if some people can and genuinely enjoy combining stress and flow, or me or you successfully combined those, it doesn’t mean everyone always should, if other approaches work better in most cases for a specific person.
So yeah, focus (publicly and privately) on what matters is the morale of this story.
