Creative Problem Solving for the High-Level Manager: Overcome Limited Mindset and Weak Workplace Culture to Increase Productivity and Value

By William Ng

As a high-level manager, the success of your organization and of the people working in it depends on you. Playing by the book is not enough... it's time to get creative. What's the one analogy that always comes to mind when you think about running a successful business? It's that of your business being a machine - a machine with gears, wheels, nuts, bolts, and every kind of part that you can imagine. And it can only run perfectly if each individual part shines in its role. However, there's a critical point that often goes amiss: the people who work for your "machine" are not machines. They have emotions, feelings, and a variety of facets that you won't find in a simple machine part whose only job is to do what it's been designed for. And that's where the business-school teachings start to crumble - you need to change your management game to lead your people and your organization toward success. So, how do you become this kind of a super-manager? What can you do to efficiently tackle problems that come your way, without tripping on them? And how can you manage people while making sure they don't end up hating you? Rather than going the textbook way, it's time to get creative with how you manage these 3 Ps: people, problems, and perspectives. And this book shows you how to make it happen... equipping you with crucial skills and strategies that are the must-haves for every high-level manager in today's world. Here's what awaits you inside: Why it is important to know your workplace and employees like the back of your hand (plus, 6 strategies for effective employee engagement) 10 workplace challenges you're likely to face as a manager, and how to overcome them A comprehensive blueprint of sourcing and managing information (with information overload crippling you or your employees) 5 real-life stories of out-of-the-box thinking and how you can apply their essence to become a creative and efficient manager The power of authentic connections and how you can level up your professional and personal relationships at your workplace 8 of the most essential work ethic skills to create a healthy working environment How deadlines can be your true friends in achieving excellence (don't sweat it, these factors can help you set realistic deadlines) A 7-step problem-solving action plan to eliminate confusion and tackle any problem that comes your way And much more. This book isn't just about taking a creative path to management, it also builds you from the ground up with indispensable management skills to bring out your true potential. Taking one step at a time, you'll soon be able to transform your organization into something you (and others who work for you) will be proud of. So, are you ready to revolutionize your workplace? Change the management game and take a creative approach to overcome your challenges and have a healthy, productive, and positive workplace.
