The ART of PROBLEM-SOLVING: How to Choose the Best Solution to a Problem

This book is about Problem-Solving, the science of selecting the best solution. It's the revised and updated 2024 edition.

It was created for you and everyone in the workforce, regardless of your occupation, position, or level of authority, to help you achieve the effectiveness and success you deserve.

Problem-solving is your ability to add greater value by anticipating problems, determining their cause, and selecting the best solution from competing alternatives.

It’s one of twenty books from a revolutionary program called SUCCESS MADE SIMPLE, designed to help you achieve your true potential.

The first ten books focus on these ten core competencies:

Followership, Delegating, Planning, Organizing, Communicating, Problem-Solving, Awareness, Training, Motivating, and Character-Building.

I created this series to give you the essential best practices and critical success skills needed to rise above the crowd, be the best at whatever you do, and stand out rather than just fit in.

This book will give you a far greater understanding of Problem-Solving and Decision-Making, their definitions, importance, and how to enhance them.

Effective people know that their problem-solving and decision-making abilities are critical to their success at work. The more problems they resolve, the greater their value to their boss or customer.

Problem-solving in business is defined as implementing processes that reduce or remove obstacles preventing you from accomplishing operational and strategic business goals.

In business, a problem is a situation that creates a gap between the desired and actual outcomes.

In addition, a true problem typically does not have an immediately obvious solution.

Business problem-solving works best when approached through a proven and consistent Problem-Solving Process (or PSP), which you’ll learn here.

Failure to consistently enhance these skills will diminish your effectiveness and success in business.

This is why it’s in your best interest to master the ART of Problem-Solving

By learning, using, and sharing these actionable tactics, techniques, and tools, you’ll be well on your way to becoming the person who adds the greatest value to your team—making you essential. Enjoy the book.

To your SUCCESS!
