Successful managers solve new and ever-changing problems.
Unsuccessful managers not only confront new problems but also continue to wrestle with old ones that they failed to solve in the first place. When you follow the ACT model, you will not only solve new problems but also decrease the number of old problems that resurface. You have the power and now the model to become a successful problem-solver. Analyze your situation, Choose the best strategy, and Track your choice. Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
