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 . . . . . . .

Successful problem solving

 

It’s not a question if you’re going to have a problem . . . . because we all face problems . . . . It’s more of a question of when . . . . and how often.

 

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

 

When you neglect to handle a problem . . . . It has the tendency to grow . . . . and multiply . . . . and very likely becomes out of control.

 

When a problem occurs it needs to be address . . . . and brought to the best solution that available to you in the shortest period of time.

 

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 in the future.

 

It’s also in handling the problem one step at a time . . . . and to come up with the most desirable solution to the problem . . . solve it . . . . and to move on pass the problem..    

 

Successful problem . . . . is an on-purpose activity.

Our minds need to be focused on a solution to any problem not the problem itself is the key thing of it all.

Yes, Lou.  It's a sign of something being amiss if the same problems keep cropping up over and over again.

Good post, Lou. It might be easier today to ignore a problem, but it doesn't go away by itself.

LEARN from your mistakes. Better yet, learn from other"s mistakes. But LEARN.Lou, when I was @ 12 years old, my great uncle was in the Logging business. Dad contracted for Uncle Pete to cut timber off of our land. Uncle Pete had an old mule named Pat. She was a big Red mule who taught me several lessons. The first was "Mules are smart, even caggie. My job was to feed and water her daily. In the beginning, she made neither easy nor enjoyable. At the water hole, she would lower her head to drink while I sat atop her, hanging onto here mane. Ole Pat knew when I loosened my grip on here mane, and would drop her right front foot into a deeper hole, causing me to slide off into the cold creek water. Second lesson: Mules have a sense of humor. She would stand there starring at me with a " who me?" look on her face. I was a slow learner at first. Finally, I got smart enough to dismount and allow her to drink and then graze for a few minutes. She began to make it easier for me to get the bit in her mouth, and stopped trying to bite me.Lesson Three: Show respect even to a farm animal. Lesson Four: Make sure there is something in the deal for everyone, including the jackass, which maybe seen in a mirror from time to time.

Good Morning Lou Ludwig,  If I have a problem I can not fix I reach out to friends for suggestions.  It is a challenge sometimes but all problems can be resolve if you get more people involve.

We do not want to continue pouring energy and efforts in to the same problems over and over again. We need to work as quickly as possible to resolve them so we have the right frame of mind to tackle the next set of problems that are on the horizon.
