Sometimes difficult problems can be solved with simple solutions. In business, it is important that one knows what to do in times of crisis. Many managers have made stupid mistakes during critical times because 1) They forgot to do the right thing, and 2) They don’t know what to do. Simple mistakes can lead to complicated losses. And the last thing we want is to have such “complicated losses” or even know what these “complicated losses” mean and pertain to.
But probably the most important thing when dealing with difficult situations is to not lose your cool and make sure to keep everything in control as much as you can. And learn a thing or two from the darn thing while you’re at it. The guy who made the problem solving flowsheet below was definitely having a good time despite his predicament. I’m sure after he was able to get the job done (or after he got fired) he and his friends were able to get a good laugh about it over a few beers. It’s not really recommended to follow this flowchart. But hey, it makes sense in a humorously demented way.
Mission accomplished. LOL.
