I hear it all the time when people describe themselves in a work setting: “I’m a good problem-solver!” Are you a good problem-solver? I’m guessing you would say “Yes!”

Well, guess what? According to Michael Roberto, author of Know What You Don’t Know, maybe we’re all focusing on the wrong thing. According to Michael, it’s not about becoming better problem-solvers. We need to be better problem finders!

I had the opportunity to catch up with Michael by phone recently and look forward to sharing that discussion with you in this cast.

To learn more about Michael, I invite you to check out his blog at http://michael-roberto.blogspot.com/. Also, don’t miss Michael’s other highly recommended book, Why Great Leaders Don’t Take Yes for an Answer: Managing for Conflict and Consensus.

Before we wrap-up, may I ask you a favor? I invite you to tell a friend or colleague about The People and Projects Podcast. I continue to be amazed at how many people still haven’t started using podcasts as part of the professional development strategy. Send them a link or tell them how to find us on iTunes. Thank you very much!

Thanks for joining us for this episode. Enjoy the cast!
