IMPLEMENT & EXECUTE
In order to effectively get through life, work, and your family life, you must learn how to successfully implement problem solving techniques. Rather than being method oriented, be result oriented or focused. Effective problem solving skills starts by defining the problem - you want to first figure out what is fact and what are opinions within the problem. You have to be thorough, even if you are quick to point out the exact underlying causes of the issue. Look for information about those causes, gather facts, and understand what the issue is completely. You should state the problem back to yourself, decide what standard it needs to be at, and only when all the information is collected should you move on to the next step.
Which is to generate alternative solutions - don’t just go with the first thing that pops into your head unless, of course, it is an emergency situation where a quick response time is needed. Brainstorm ideas, flipping through your third eye, noting every possibility you can to fix it. Then, Evaluate and select - Pull all of the bias you have out of the situation and evaluate your options. Then choose your course of action. Finally, Move to implement/execute a solution. This is the point in which you can really shine as a leader. Whether it is at work or in front of your children, understanding, evaluating, and implementing a solution in a calm manner will show them you have everything under control.
This illustration above can be used on a larger scale if necessary, but it comes in handy when you have but a few quick moments to decide upon the solution. You always want to have a process, though, even if it is unseen by anyone but yourself. Doing things in a manufactured and structured way will result in positive outcomes.
While you were working through solving your problem, you were also making decisions. We make choices on a daily basis that we don’t even recognize doing. When it comes to the big ones, both personally and professionally, it is ideal to understand the process. Fortunately, the seven steps of decision making are almost identical to that of problem solving. Identify what decision to make:
🧠Gather all the information about the choices.
🧠Figure out what the alternatives are.
🧠Weigh the information and evidence you’ve been given.
🧠Select your decision based on evidence.
🧠Make your final decision.
🧠Review that decision when it’s complete, and make sure you understand the consequences.
