A good explanation is not a fix but is a good starting point to a good diagnosis which is the foundation of a good fix.
The issue is when the calls and urgency are raised before making some mental space to even verify that there is enough clarity on what happen and these interrupt the clarification and remediation planning process.
Saying you shouldn't ask "Why did this happen?" and you should ask "What we're changing?" instead is wanting to jump the gun and pretend a required step doesn't exist.
It does exists, is just the executive anxiety reasonable in terms of wanting to be protective of the business but as protective as a family member of a patient wanting a good outcome from the surgeon during the surgery.
Only worst because the surgeon's boss is this anxious family member, and she has a laboral gun pointing to the doctor's neck.
Yeah, I disagree with SVP's approach in this story. First, get the current issue understood, resolved and remedied. Then, thank the team for their good work in fixing this issue, and do a post-mortem to see what process improvement could have prevented the issue from rising in the first place, or at least detected and mitigated it more quickly.
