In chapter eight, we learn techniques when it comes to writing proposals and solving problems. The one concept that caught my attention was the problem solving solutions. Just like the text states, problems are a normal part of communication. There were three areas of the text that I really enjoyed.
1. "The problem is the difference between 1 and 2." This definition of a problem is great because it can be applied to not only the work environments, but also to our everyday life situations. The text also states that a problem may be an opportunity. It makes a great point that problems don't always need to be negative.
2. "Too many people try to fix the symptoms, only to find that they reappear because the cause is still present." When trying to diagnose a problem, it is important to look at the root cause and not just the effects the problem is creating. As we try to fix problems that arise in a work setting, we are often missing the root of the problem and constantly running in a circle to try and improve the situation.
3. "Sometimes a solution will be relatively simple." Not all solutions to a problem are complicated. We need to make sure we are keeping our eyes open to the most simple and efficient solutions to problems at hand. It often is beneficial to brainstorm ideas with a group to come up with the best solution to the problem.
