Every business needs a diagnosis first.
Don’t jump into the cure, figure out what’s bothering the business first.
For most organizations and business leaders, energy is invested in solving the current problems we’re facing without stopping to diagnose where we are being driven from and to. Like a bad doctor, we treat the symptoms without diagnosing the disease.
By Dale Partridge and Blake Mycoskie in their book People Over Profit
Are you struggling on how to look at the difficulties that your business has?
Today, let's dive into a little analogy that might just flip the switch on how you view problem-solving in your business.
Picture this: You wake up feeling under the weather. Aches, pains, the whole shebang. What's your move?
Most of us would pop some pills, maybe chug some orange juice, and hope for the best, right?
But hold on a second! What if I told you there's a better way?
We often play doctor all wrong.
We're so busy slapping Band-Aids on the boo-boos that we forget to diagnose the root cause of the ailment.
Think about it – your business hits a snag, and what's the first reaction?
Problem-solving overdrive!
But are you really getting to the heart of the matter?
Or just masking the symptoms with temporary solutions?
Take a step back, analyze the symptoms, and get to the root cause.
Only then can you prescribe the right treatment and set your business on the path to true health and prosperity.
Because when it comes to business or life, a proper diagnosis beats a quick fix any day!
But before that, all it’s always, people over profits. Click to read the book!
