Solve Problems in 5 Steps

5 Guiding Principles to Solve Problems

1. Logic over Emotions
   When it comes to solving problems, you have to think with your head rather than your heart. Mixing emotions into the equation just makes things messy. Detach yourself and look at things objectively.
   

2. Listen
   Take the time to understand the problem that a particular person or organisation is facing and find a way to address that. Rather than use a fixed method to solve a problem over and over again. There ain’t no perfect solution nor miracle pill to cure everything.
   

3. Be Objective
   Never take sides. That’s a disaster waiting to happen, always weigh the pros and cons before trying to come to a solution.
   

4. Packaging and Delivery
   No matter what happens you are essentially dealing with people. You have to be mindful of the words you use and the approach you take.
   

5. Feedback
   No solution is perfect! Be receptive to feedback and to fine tuning your solution.
