Brian Tracy walks through a seven-step method for solving problems: define it clearly, find the cause, generate many solutions, decide fast (80% of problems should be solved right away), assign responsibility, set deadlines, and act. The speed matters as much as the thinking.
About 80%.
One of the most important skills or qualities of leaders and effective people in every area is the ability to solve problems and make good decisions that lead.
To more and better results.
All of life is a series of.
Problems to be solved and difficulties to be overcome.
Your ability to solve the problems you meet at your level is essential to.
Your being paid more and promoted faster. Success is the ability to solve problems. Fortunately, effective problem solving and decision making.
Are learnable skills that you can develop.
With practice and by learning how to.
Tap into the incredible powers of your mind.
Here's a seven step method that you.
Can use for the rest of your.
Career to deal effectively with any problem that comes along.
It's like a recipe that you can use in the kitchen that will bring.
You an excellent dish every single time.
Step 1.
Define the problem clearly. What exactly is the problem?
Get the facts. Get the real facts.
Not the apparent facts or the obvious.
Facts, but the real facts of the situation.
It's amazing how much time and energy.
Is wasted every day attempting to solve.
Problems when the people involved are not even clear what the problem is in the first place. Step 2.
Ask what are all the possible causes of this problem? How and why did it happen?
Sometimes this exercise alone will suggest a solution.
And remember, there's a direct relationship between.
The quantity of reasons that you come up with in understanding the origin of the problem and the likelihood that a.
Solution will pop out.
Step three, Ask what are all the possible solutions? The more possible solutions you can come.
Up with, the more likely it is.
That you will come up with the ideal solution. Step number four, Make a decision. Any decision is usually better than no decision at all. In fact, 80% of problems should be solved the moment they come up.
Only about 20% of problems need time.
And deliberation and extra research.
Step number five, Assign responsibility for carrying out the decision. Who exactly is going to do what and when? And to what standard?
If it's you, determine when you're going.
To do it and to what standard.
You'Re going to achieve it.
Step number six, Set a schedule of reporting and a standard to measure whether or not the decision has been successful. A solution without a standard or deadline is really not a solution at all.
It's merely a discussion.
And step number seven, Task yourself or someone else with taking definite action to.
Implement the solution and resolve the problem.
Remember, action is everything.
The more you focus on solutions, the smarter you become and the better solutions.
You come up with.
The people who are the best at.
Problem solving are the highest paid and.
Fastest promoted in any organization.
And fortunately enough, problem solving is a.
Skill that you can learn with practice.
