Stating the GOAL rather the method is very important when you work with someone who is good. Sometimes we have people call with a long, complex explanation of some complex thing they want to do, integrating some new software package or whatever. After a few minutes I ask "what is the business goal?" They continue on about some script they saw and I repeat, "what is the BUSINESS GOAL?" Two minutes later, I let them know it's done, I just turned on a setting in Strongbox or whatever to accomplish what they wanted to accomplish.
