Stop fixing the wrong problems. Start leading with clarity.
Most leaders don’t have a problem-solving problem. They have a problem definition problem. If you’ve ever watched your team sprint into action—only to realize weeks later you solved the wrong issue—you already know the cost: wasted time, frustrated employees, and “fixes” that don’t stick.
Stop Jumping to Solutions is a leadership fable about Mitchell, a well-intentioned manager stuck in a cycle of firefighting, pressure-driven decisions, and quick fixes that never truly solve anything. When one bold initiative backfires, he’s forced to face an uncomfortable truth: He isn’t failing because he isn’t smart. He’s failing because he keeps fixing symptoms instead of causes.
Guided by a no-nonsense mentor and a practical problem-solving framework, Mitchell learns how great leaders slow down just long enough to:
- Clarify the real problem
- Uncover root causes
- Define success before acting
- Build team alignment
- Implement countermeasures that actually work
This isn’t theory. It’s the operating reality of leadership—where the pressure to “do something” is constant, and getting it wrong is expensive.
What you’ll learn (and use immediately):
- See the Real Problem—Reframe issues so you stop reacting to symptoms.
- Replace Guesswork with Clarity—Define measurable success criteria before taking action.
- Break the Firefighting Cycle—Shift from reactive chaos to calm, confident leadership.
- Build Buy-In and Ownership—Lead with your team instead of around them.
- Make Improvements That Stick—Solve problems once instead of reliving them every quarter.
If you enjoyed The Goal, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, or Who Moved My Cheese?, you’ll love this story-driven approach to leadership and problem-solving. You won’t just learn a method. You'll recognize yourself in it—and change the way you lead.
