Q: What was a good lesson you learned from a boss?
A: I worked for a guy who used to say, “Don’t bring me a problem, bring me a solution.” It made a little bit of sense at the time, but it made more sense as time went on. It shows the boss that you are capable of seeing the big picture and thinking things through.
