Problem solving.

Problem solving

It is said that, in life people get 90 percent opportunities and face 10 percent of problems and difficulties. The opportunities are neglected and only the problems are concentrated. The researchers suggest that the goal has to be concentrated primarily rather than a problem itself.

The Gestalt psychologist Karl Duncker defined a problem as, "A problem arises when a living creature has a goal but does not know how this goal is to be reached. Whenever one cannot go from the given situation to the desired situation simply by action, then there has to be recourse to thinking. Such thinking has the task of devising some action, which may mediate between the existing and desired situations".

Some of the problems solving techniques are discussed below.

 Brainstorming: (especially among groups of people) suggesting a large number of solutions or ideas and combining and developing them until an optimum solution is found

 Divide and conquer: breaking down a large, complex problem into smaller, solvable problems

 Means-ends analysis: choosing an action at each step to move closer to the goal

 Lateral thinking: approaching solutions indirectly and creatively

 Research: employing existing ideas or adapting existing solutions to similar problems

 Root cause analysis: identifying the cause of a problem

 Trial-and-error: testing possible solutions until the right one is found

The problem solving steps are defined by the technique being implemented.

😒A Businessman was deep in debt and could not see any way out. 😒Creditors and Suppliers were demanding payments.

Beyond Fear: How a Single Attitude Change Unlocks Growth:

🌟 Open the Door to Opportunity: The Power of a Positive Mindset We often encounter situations that highlight the stark difference between a closed, fearful mindset and an open, positive attitude. The choices we make daily—even small ones—are often dictated by whether we focus on the potential loss or the potential gain. A perfect illustration of this took place in a restaurant. I noticed the owner kept the large front door closed, essentially hiding a valuable marketing display and limiting the shop's visibility. When I asked him why, his reason was simple and fear-driven: "What if people will eat and go without paying?" His focus was entirely on preventing a minor potential fraud cost . The Opportunity Cost of Fear I challenged him to compare that small potential loss (the fraud cost) with the much larger benefit he was sacrificing: the marketing opportunity cost . By keeping the door closed, he was missing out on: ...

Why people at big companies are happy:

- Lets refresh our memories - employees are emotional creatures. Events from personal life affect professional life and vice versa. - Healthy work-life balance means different things to different people. Top companies realize there is no one-size-fits-all approach – they don’t tell employees HOW to achieve work-life balance. - As long as employees feel they are a part of something that is bigger than themselves, they remain engaged. Merge this with the freedom to design professional career path and the well-planned learning opportunities to succeed on those paths. Click to read full article from LinkedIn:

Leaders Get Results:

Secret 5: Leaders Get Results from The 7 Secrets of Exceptional Leadership by Brian Tracy Results are everything–in life, in business and in leadership. Leaders are those who have developed the ability to achieve the most important results expected of them in their positions. The first question of the leader is always, "What results are expected of me?" The second question leaders ask is, "Of all the results that I can achieve, what are the most important results for my business?" There will always be too much to do and too little time, especially for leaders in their positions of responsibility. All of life, therefore, consists of making choices and decisions between what is more important and what is less important, between what you care about the most and what you care about less. The quality of your life today is a measure of the quality of your choices and decisions up to this point. To improve the quality of your life in the future, you must make bett...

A Different Kind of Smart: Nokia's Wary Approach to the Android Ecosystem:

- Beyond the Simple Narrative: Why Nokia's Android Dilemma Was More Than Just Stubbornness For years, the narrative surrounding Nokia's dramatic fall from mobile phone titan has been simplified to a single, damning sentence: "They should have just switched to Android." While seemingly straightforward in hindsight, this perspective overlooks the complex strategic considerations and valid concerns that likely influenced Nokia's fateful decisions. Diving deeper reveals a story where data privacy and the perceived potential of their own ecosystem played significant roles in their hesitation. The mid-to-late 2000s witnessed a seismic shift in the mobile landscape with the arrival of the iPhone and the burgeoning Android platform. While Apple's sleek design and intuitive software captured consumer hearts, Android, with its open-source nature and Google's backing, quickly gained momentum. Nokia, the reigning champion of the feature phone era, found itself at a c...
