Strategic Thinking Handbook #1: Top 10 Everyday Tools for Daily Problem Solving
The Top 10 Everyday Tools for Daily Problem Solving is the first of two Strategic Thinking Employee Handbooks that author, Stephen Haines has written as a way to begin the reader’s progression to the Systems Age. This handbook allows readers to examine their personal and/or organizational needs by visualizing themselves 5,000 feet above the earth to get a better perspective of their unique situation. Presented as a new, holistic, way of thinking required to deal with today’s complexity; Systems Thinking opens up a rapidly emerging paradigm that fits better with reality and the natural order of the universe.
The Top 10 Everyday Tools for Daily Problem Solving opens the door to discovering the Systems Thinking Approach ® and explains its necessity and capabilities for use in problem solving, at work, home, and play. With its simplified, easy-to-use format, readers will discover 10 specific tools- four key basics of daily problem solving and six natural levels of conflicts and solutions.
This easy to read Strategic Handbook allows readers to view problems, challenges, tasks and plans as a whole. By using what Haines calls the “Helicopter View of Life” individuals will learn to observe things from a higher and better view of the entire organization or system, and thus “work backwards” to locate the cause or reason for their situation and then define the path to their desired outcome.
Vital Things You’ll Learn:
- Clarify and focus on Systems Solutions vs. Problem-Solving
- Simplicity in project management and how to debrief all projects/conflicts
- Using the right matrix
- Look in the mirror (self-feedback)
