Regardless of position or function, everyone encounters problems in performing their assigned tasks and functions. Regrettably, problems are often “delegated upwards” tying down superiors to do all the solving. Even worse, when people try to solve problems with insufficient capability it could result to disaster or at the very least lost opportunities in terms of time, capital, revenues, profits, customers. Worst of all, when problems are left to fester, they tend to mutate to more complex problems.
This course simplifies and lays down a system for analyzing and solving problems. It spells out simple to follow steps on how to solve problems in business or even at home so people can be more effective back at work! In other words, this is like teaching your people how to use the fire extinguisher in their area, so you don’t have to call the fire department, in your case higher ups. It does not mean they should not communicate because they should. It just provides wider capability to prevent disasters or nip them in the bud.
