Effective Problem Solving

“If you start to think the problem is out there: stop yourself.

That thought is the problem.”

As I see it . . . . . . .

Effective problem solving

The key components of effective problem solving are . . . .

Isolate the problem . . . .

Determine the root cause of the problem.

Ask yourself how the problem will affect you . . . . and or your business?

Will the problem cure itself . . . . satisfactorily?

Does the problem create any immediate threat to you . . . . and or your company?

What’s the best course of action to successfully resolve the problem?

Take the personal responsibility for solving the problem . . . .

If you start to look around for who you can blame for the problem . . . . Your wasting your time  . . . . your energy . . . . and resources looking in the wrong direction.

Manage the problem . . . . by determining the best course of action  to resolve the problem . . . . and what resources will be needed to being the problem to a successful conclusion.  

Prioritize the problem in their order of importance . . . . and act on it accordingly.

Effective problem is focusing on the solutions to the problem and not becoming mired in the problem.
