An oops or Oh Yea moment
In the data processing field, if you work in enough different environments patterns emerge. The other day, the guy behind me was bitching and moaning for the the better part of the day about a specific process. From mid-morning to mid-afternoon, he was complaining about one aspect after another.
The complaining was not a particular problem. The thing to note was the fellow typically thinks he doesn't make mistakes. Not necessarily a know-it-all, but he tends to jump to conclusions and asserts himself. His personality can be overbearing. He doesn't tend to allow for other perspectives. He doesn't like to be wrong.
So I meekly asked a few questions. I was able to find the problem within seconds.
Because I asked the questions and was willing to be wrong aided in the speed of finding the solution. The utlization of different perspective can be invaluable.
