Principle 2.3 - Diagnose problems to get at their root causes

a. Focus on the "what is" before deciding "what to do about it."

b. Distinguish proximate causes from root causes.

c. Recognize that knowing what someone (including you) is like will tell you what you can expect from them.

"Proximate causes are often verbs and root causes are often adjectives."
