Being a problem solver

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

One way to earn respect and advance in any group is to be a problem solver.

Problems always come up, and the more we are trying to change things (the greater the goals) the more problems there are to solve.

Some people complain and whine, and many wait for someone else to solve a problem.  The person that steps up and takes the problem on gets a lot of attention and admiration from the rest – they are leading.

Find out what the problems are.  What stands in the way of it getting better?  Ask leaders what needs to be solved.  

Then learn all about the problem – what caused it, what’s been tried, what a good solution might entail, etc.  Then take initiative.

By being a problem solver, you can get what you want.

The world needs more problem solvers.  The world needs you.

Hi Larry, I do know a problem solver that can fix your Christmas tree lights, my maintenance tech Victor Rice, you know him too. He is also a dedicated think daily subscriber! I will get two more people to sign up before Christmas!

Hi Larry, If your tree lights are old buy new lights.

Hey Larry- been reading your posts for a few years now and loaded your app here recently. Anyway, you could talk with your developer and have a way to tag our favorites so we can reference them quicker. When issues arise I refer back to them and share them with the staff that’s having the issue.
It works great!!
Thanks, Bob
