Develop your problem-solving skills
from Developing the Leader Within You by John C. Maxwell
How to Apply This
-
Differentiate problems from challenges.
For example, interviewing 10 people across different continents within 2 months is challenging but doable. However, lacking the funds to travel and meet these people could be a problem. -
Keep trying, don’t make excuses.
Excuses can prevent you from trying at all. For example, don’t use excuses that run along the lines of how you’re not good enough. -
Focus only on the problems you can handle.
If you can’t do anything about your problem, then it’s not really your problem to solve, so move on.
