The core of the problem
The core of the problem is the key mechanism or condition that maintains the difficulty despite superficial actions.
Definicja
Not every visible symptom is the root of the problem. Being late may be due to a lack of plan, fear of being judged, being overloaded, or having unclear priorities. Finding the root of the problem involves distinguishing symptoms from causes and checking which intervention changes the entire system and not just masks the effect.
