Don’t take things at face value and look at alternatives. It involves questioning, evaluating and offering better ways of doing things
How to develop it?
- Develop the habit of asking why? - opens up a world of new opportunities
- If you merely question everything, you become obstructive which makes you a problem. You need to come up with alternatives too.
- When you ask why properly you will find out things like
- what you are trying to achieve
- how the current solution came to be
- the restrictions you are working with
- who is ultimately responsible for this thing
- the criteria that would make a successful solution
