Should the priority be in solving existing issues, or preventing future problems?

Both are completely different use cases for our mental functioning.
One involves logical reasoning and automated response at max levels and creativity at medium, while the other needs creativity at max and logical reasoning & responsiveness at medium.

Brainstorming work is essential for finding solutions to problems in a preemptive manner. Reasoning through existing rules and regulations is to find solutions to urgent issues.
Handling and developing a business requires a potent mix of both abilities.

This implies that the ones leading a business must engage in both intuitive management and effortful administration.

Doing both involves an immense amount of effort which can be made more efficient with effective structuring.
For instance, scheduling time in the day to deal with existing issues, then another slot to schedule maintenance activities, and then another slot for brainstorming work.
