Beschreibung

This book is the revised and updated 2025 edition of The LOST ART of PROBLEM-SOLVING, The Science of Overcoming Obstacles. Problem-Solving is your ability to consistently produce excellent results by anticipating problems, determining their cause, and selecting the best solution from competing alternatives It's the 6th volume in a forty-book series of a comprehensive Success Training Program (see OTHER BOOKS). In business, Problem-Solving is your ability to anticipate problems or to resolve them as soon as they're identified. Note: Decision-making (Chapters 7-10, and Appendix E) is the fifth of the eight steps in the Problem-Solving Process (or PSP). The beauty of the Problem-Solving Process (or PSP) is that it removes the emotions normally associated with bad problem-solving, which means deciding on an impulse or emotion and justifying it later with logic. It's designed to be used when there are three or more valid options from which to choose.

Autor

Ed Murphy grew up in Western New York and considers himself lucky. From age 7, he knew what he wanted to be when he grew up: a Soldier. Three days after graduating High School, he joined the US Army and completed Basic and Advanced Infantry Training at Fort Dix, NJ.

A year later, Ed became a Cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point. In 1970, he graduated as a second Lieutenant, went to Airborne and Ranger School, and spent a year in Vietnam.

Ten years later, Ed returned to West Point to teach Military Science and earned an MS from LIU in night school.

During his two years as a Battalion Commander in West Germany, his greatest achievement was helping 1,400 soldiers begin their college education. He wanted to give them something of real value - something no one could ever take away.
He retired a few years after the first Gulf War, Operation Desert Storm.

For his second career, with a little help from Tony Robbins, he spent the next 21 years as an Executive Coach, working with hundreds of business executives, teams, and small business owners in Seattle, San Diego, Kansas City, and Phoenix.

After that, Ed retired again and decided to document everything he learned from those he admired most during his 50+ years in the US Military and Corporate America.

Two years later, he began writing books for Amazon dedicated to providing best practices for achieving greater effectiveness and success in business. Currently, he's authored over 40 books on Amazon.

Today, at 78, Ed considers himself blessed because he gets to live in Mesa, AZ, where there is no snow, ice, massive floods, wildfires, earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, or tsunamis.

In his retirement, he enjoys the sunshine, writing, eating sushi, genealogy, and spending time with his best friend and wife, Diana.
