Ruben Sadoyan on how fixing symptoms can prevent you from actually helping the team

What is the problem we are actually trying to fix? This is not an easy question. We are programmed to jump to conclusions. Many of us are biased towards action but forget to check if our actions are working. All of this leads us sometimes to focus on symptoms. Ruben tells us such a story and how he finally tracked down the real problem that needed fixing.
