This is designed to help you think through possible solutions to any problem you may encounter.
There are three general approaches people typically use when you desire to solve a problem…you can:
- Change something about yourself
- Change something about your environment
- Change something about someone else
The last approach is often the most used yet the least effective.
We will eliminate this one now.
First, before you begin to problem-solve, you must clearly define the problem.
Is this the real problem or simply a symptom of the real problem?
If the answer is yes, this is the real problem, then what can I change about myself to solve or move toward a solution to this problem?
What can I change about my environment to solve or move toward a solution to this problem ( consider environment, workspace, noise, etc.)?
What a person or resource can I call on to help solve this problem?
