“The adventure of business is to know the problems exist, to hunt and eliminate them, and to grow a culture that does this continually.”
Thomas Anderson in Changed People Change Process
Problems will continually pop up. They are like a game of whack-a-mole. As soon as you address and solve one problem, another one pops up… and that’s a good thing!
If problems didn’t exist, if things went smoothly all the time, what’s the point of work? It would become quite boring. There would be less need for creativity. Problem-solving can be one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of the business.
As the quote suggests, problems become an adventure. If you read a story where the protagonist has a smooth ride and faced no problems, what fun would that be? Adventures involve facing and solving problems.
Embrace problems, analyze and solve them. You may become the hero of your own adventure. You will improve. And you will have fun doing it!
