What if the biggest mistake in problem-solving is solving the wrong problem?
Mitchell, a Sales Support Director at Western Shores Financial Credit Union, prides himself on quick thinking and decisive action-until a series of professional and personal challenges push his problem-solving skills to the limit. From bold yet divisive initiatives like Meet-less Mondays to a high-stakes project to stem asset losses, Mitchell finds himself facing resistance, uncertainty, and the realization that solving the wrong problem can be just as costly as not solving one at all.
Told as a business fable, his journey is a blend of trial and transformation, revealing the power of listening, reframing challenges, and embracing data-driven decision-making. Along the way, Mitchell learns that true excellence in leadership isn't about rushing to solutions-it's about defining the right problem, applying structured thinking, and fostering a learning mindset to navigate complexity with confidence.
Packed with humor, corporate intrigue, and practical takeaways, this book is a must-read for leaders who want to stop spinning their wheels and start solving what actually matters-at work and at home.
If you're ready to ditch quick fixes, embrace a learning mindset, and lead with excellence, this is the guide you've been waiting for.
