Sometimes there is no good answer to the question someone asks.
It could be they aren’t asking the right question to start with.
You win nothing by being part of the group trying to answer the wrong question. So rather than trying to answer their question, change the question. Figure out what the issue, challenge, problem really is and answer that instead.
Your odds of winning just went up.
When you start asking the right questions, you must be ready when you hear, "But this is how we've alwasy done it."
That phrase, along with "I'm really busy," are the bastions of those who don't care about solving problems and doing remarkable things.
