Successful Problem Solving

Motivational Power Quote

Successful Problem Solving  

“The measure of success is not whether you have

a tough problem to deal with,

but whether it’s the same problem you had last year.”

John Foster Dulles, U.S. Secretary of State 1953 -1959      

As I see it . . . . . . .

Success problem solving

It’s not a question if we’re going to have a problem because we all face problems.

The key to any problem is how we respond and handle it.

When we neglect to handle a problem it has the tendency to grow and multiply and very likely become out of control.

When a problem occurs it needs to be address and brought to the best solution that available to us.

The measure of successful problem solving is to get to the root cause of the problem to ensure that the problem does not occur again and to handle the problem one time and to come up with the most desirable solution and to move on.

Become Stronger

Motivational Power Quote

Become Stronger   

“I am grateful for all of my problems.

After each one was overcome,

I became stronger and more able to

meet those that were still to come.

I grew in all my difficulties.”

J. C. Penny, Businessman      

As I see it . . . . . . .

Become stronger

A problem is an opportunity to become stronger and grow.

Problems are those things that seem to pop up when we least expect them. Most of the time problems need our immediate attention and can’t wait for us to fit them in. The problems throw us off schedule and can change the course of our day. 

The problem can bring out the best in us or the worst in us.

Problems are the building blocks of champions. Problems are facts of live and we all encounter them.

The question becomes how to we handle them? Do we respond to a problem and look for solutions? Or do we become overwhelmed and look who to blame?

When a problem is approached from the stand point of looking for solutions, we are taking a proactive approach to the problem.

By taking a proactive approach to the problem we become a problem solver and finding solutions we become stronger.

Asking Questions Increases Our Performance

Motivational Power Quote

Asking Questions Increases Our Performance

“Asking questions will get you

the performance you are after

far better than dictating demands.”

Dan James

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Asking questions increases our performance

Asking questions is a sign of respect and showing sincere interest in the person that we are speaking with.

In response to asking questions we form a relationship with the person and build rapport.

Rapport opens the door for continuous exchange of information and communication.

When we make demands of people often this can shut off open and honest communication with the other person and they may feel threatened, angry, or both. From that point forward communication, relationships, and negotiations breakdown.

Making demands can also jeopardize a relationship and close the door on future opportunities.

As we continue to ask questions we gather information. When that information is properly utilized we are seen as a problem solver.

As a problem solver, we help the other person and we gain momentum that continuously moves us in the direction of our goals and objectives.

Asking questions increases our performance and places us in a win – win situation.
