Problem Solving 101: A Simple Book for Smart People - A Review


Problem Solving 101: A Simple Book for Smart People
In my work, we're already using these methods. However, what Watanabe has done are 2 things; 1) give clarity as to why the steps are necessary and 2) he has shortened the steps.

We go through our lives not knowing why we do things and we tend to take a really long route in order to get things done.
At work, we're required to adhere to certain protocols because "that's how things are done around here", which is not really a good reason why we should adhere to them in the first place. Or it could just mean that nobody really knows why we must abide by protocols.

And we have all these steps that must be followed which are actually counter-productive and wastes time.
This book is makes sense. If only more bosses would read it.
