Leading through Problem Solving
Problem solving in business means identifying an obstacle, understanding its causes, and choosing the best solution to keep the organization moving forward. It involves defining the issue clearly, weighing options and tradeoffs, deciding, and reviewing results. It is imperative to businesses because markets and resources are limited and constantly changing: unresolved problems compound, and strong problem-solving skills drive better decisions, stronger leadership, and innovation.​​
