Problem Solving

some thoughts

 

You can measure a leader by the problems he tackles

He always looks for ones his own size

• Effective leaders always rise to a challenge

That's one of the things that separates winners from whiners

• People respond to problems in these ways

they refuse to accept them

they accept them and then put up with them

or they accept them and try to make things better

Leaders must always do the latter

• In times like these it is good to remember

that there have always been times like these

Effective leaders face up to the reality of a situation

• Never try to solve all the problems at once

make them line up for you one-by-one

• If you’re faced with lots of problems

make sure you really solve the one you’re working on

before moving on to the next one

• Effective leaders understand the peak to peak principle

They make major decisions

when they are experiencing a positive swing in their leadership

not during the dark times

don't decide to retire during training camp

• The ability to solve problems effectively

comes from experience

facing and overcoming obstacles
