Ten Productive Questions

What’s the Real Problem

Listen Later

Having problems is a shared experience for everyone.  It is common knowledge that no one is without problems, and that having problems directly affects productivity. This will be another insightful episode of Ten Productive Questions Podcast as Coach Christian Alan Vibar and David Angway delve deep into the mantra, "The first problem isn't the real problem."

What now is the real problem? How do you identify it? Dealing with a problem is actually a mindset issue and therefore requires an in depth analysis to provide a solution. More often than not, we are barking into the wrong tree, the wrong problem. There can also be a time that we need to acknowledge that a solution is not possible. Are you now getting intrigued by that last statement?  Stay tuned for further insights on our topic today.
