What if we just ignored a problem? What if we just denied that it existed?
Some people would rather "reframe" it and not call it a problem at all. I have had several bosses who preferred to call problems "opportunities". They didn't fool anyone because a problem is still a problem. We may have the opportunity to succeed, but only if we solve the problem.
Denying that problems exist invites them to worsen and grow.
We don't want that do we?
What's the fear? Let's call problems what they are: problems; and get about the exciting business of solving them.
