The "quick fixer" makes change, checks of the boxes, and rarely consults others. The "quick fixer" advertises the change quietly and with grandeur at the same time--making fast change look like the right thing to do. The "quick fixer" lays an unsturdy path, a fragile structure, and a potentially dangerous situation.
We're all "quick fixers" now and then, and sometimes the "quick fix" is just the right solution, but most of the time the "quick fix" denies accurate, promising problem analysis and solution. The "quick fix" is often the dead end road or lengthy U-turn that results in inefficiency and potentially problematic situations.
In most cases I'm an advocate of thoughtful, transparent, inclusive process that welcomes the voices of all involved; lays out a path to thoughtful solution, and impacts organizations, events, and individuals with promise and strength? How about you?
Note: The book, Intentional Interruption, is a good read when it comes to the need for greater, more thoughtful problem analysis and innovation in schools. I recommend.
