Richard Comitz, drawing on military experience, argues the question isn't whether something is possible but how to do it. The mindset shift from "can we?" to "how do we?" means assessing trade-offs and finding creative solutions to accomplish the mission regardless of obstacles.

One of the biggest things in the military is mission accomplishment, kind of getting the job done. There's not usually a time where you can say, well, I just can't do that, or I'm not going to be able to get it done. So having that in the back of my head as, you know, a new problem or situation comes up. It's not about, you know, can we or can't we? It's just a matter of kind of figuring out how to. Right. Whether that be describing the trade offs of doing it or not doing it, or just trying to come up with creative ways or collaborative ways to solve problems.
