Personally, I’m very good at discovering what’s wrong with a process or situation. I can detect flaws easily and accurately. What I’ve found I need is someone who, after I’ve done my analysis, will look me in the eye and say, “OK. So how do we fix it?”
Without that simple question, I find that far too often I stop at the identification step, shaking my head at the deplorable state of affairs.
So for example, it would make sense for me to try and personally swoop in and free Chinese political prisoners, but if I’m not prepared to do that, I shouldn’t protest their incarceration.
I don’t think this rule leads to the right kind of behavour.

The question analogous to to the Perot quote would be “So why don’t you fix it?”.

It doesn’t, and it annoys me. That makes me quite ambivalent about the quote.
