My Problem with Problem Solving

"In problem solving, we often leap to a favourite or preferred solution without disciplining ourselves to diagnose the problem more deeply, mapping causes and consequences, generating real alternatives, and remaining truly open to the criticisms and refinements offered by others. Existing 'mental models' (about major cause-effect relationships in our world) tend to limit the range of our thinking about solutions to new problems.(Boxall & Purcell, 2011)"
I do tend to be very limited and un-creative when finding solutions. I hope I can overcome this in my dissertation.
