TVB 70: BE SOLUTION-MINDED!



BUSINESS TRAINING:

Many years ago at Vision Builders PUBLISHING, while executing a Client’s print job Order, we realised that an error on the digital colour separation film had gone to Press unnoticed. Delivery was due the very next day. With a short deadline, this error jeopardised all our efforts because a part of the job order had become unusable.

At that juncture, the feasible action was to apologise to the client that we experienced problems and so could not deliver. As it happened, advance payments had not been made. We had no liability - in a sense. However, after a session of brainstorming, we agreed that reneging on a promise did not fit with the chosen Corporate Image of Vision Builders PUBLISHING. But the challenge of delivering on our promise still stared us in the face. According to Henry J. Kaiser, “Problems are opportunities in work clothes.” Tell me about it!

WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

With less than 24 hours to go, we decided to re-do the Print job order, and by God’s help we made the deadline, although with a slight over-expense, and working very late into the night.

In  life, and at work, problems will arise, but what options will you choose? Will you quit when things get rough? Or keep complaining and grumbling when a work process, staff member, contractor or supplier messes up? The truth is, every problem surmounted increases your proficiency.

According to John Powell, “When you repress or suppress those things that you don’t want to live with, you don’t really solve the problem because you don’t bury the problem dead—you bury it alive. It remains active inside of you.”

The smart thing is, rather than seeking an escape route away when problems arise, why not identify a solution? To every problem, there is a solution.

I'd be glad if you’ll share a comment on solutions you’ll like to suggest.

My best regards for a fulfilling month..
