In his book "How To Fail At Everything And Still Win Big," Adam Scott, the creator of Dilbert comics, distinguishes people into two categories: simplifiers and optimizers. Simplifiers choose the easiest way to accomplish a task, even if some extra effort might have produced a better outcome. In contrast, optimizers search for the very best solution, even if the added complexity increases the chances of unexpected problems.
Nice read. Practical advice. Best wishes!
