Last December my two youngest sons asked me to write a book about Christmas... so I did. As with my other children books, I passed it by them and they enjoyed it.

Released on Winter Solstice, 21 December 2025, you can find it on Amazon, along with my other books.

Thinking strategically sometimes requires out of the box thinking and possible solutions not normally thought of in order to plan properly and successfully. #strategicthinking #planning #outofthebox #solutions

An absentee leader can be just as bad as one who micromanages employees. A leader needs to find the sweet spot between those two for effective management/leadership. Employees need guidance & support, but too much or too little can be damaging. #absentee #micromanaging #leader #effective #sweetspot

Don't be a checklist auditor. When you focus only on a checklist, you missed potential gaps, problems, risks, and improvement opportunities. Open your eyes, expand your horizons, ask questions, learn, and grow. #checklist #auditor #quality #gaps #risk #improve

Workplace sabotage is an intentional effort to disrupt, undermine, or damage an operation or to harm the reputation of a colleague (s). Unlike accidents/incompetence, it is intentional, based on feelings of injustice, insecurity, or a desire for power. It is unprofessional, damaging & childish.

■ Proven frameworks are explained.
■ The human side of change often ignored.
To Change or Not to Change: Worth the Risk?

Many businesses are using language geared toward consumers and not necessarily customers. They are not always the same. It can also devalue, in my opinion, the place a client/customer has in a business if abused. #consumer #customer #client #business

Scope creep can... creep up on you if you allow it. It can come from the customer or the team. Having a plan and sticking to it will keep you on track. Don't waste time and money on gold plating. #scopecreep #project #goldplating #plan #stayontrack

Using the pareto analysis allows the opportunity to show, through data, the issues in order to address them. #problemsolving #paretoanalysis #pareto #fix #rootcause #problem #business #tools

The barrier method (Swiss Cheese) is a useful tool, especially for safety incidents. It allows for a look at everything that contributed to the problem for correction, corrective, and prevention actions to be taken. #barriermethods #problemsolving #fix #rootcause

While DMAIC is often used for process improvements, it can be used to solve problems when identified, defined, and then analyzed, especially when data is involved. #rootcause #fix #problemsolving #dmaic #processimprovement

8D Problem Solving is simply a holistic approach to solving a problem from the creation of the team until celebrating the positive results. Remember to keep primary focus on the system/process. #8d #problemsolving #rootcause #fix #celebrate #team

The tree diagram is another simpler method that allows for potential branches to be used for identifying root cause (s). #problem #fix #failure #rootcause #treediagram

FMEA is one of the more complex root cause tools, but for those with competent teams, it can be useful, especially as a proactive measure to identify problem areas and risks. #fmea #rootcause #failure #fix #problem
December 10, 2025 at 4:23 PM
The fishbone diagram (Ishikawa) is a very basic way to break down the elements leading to a nonconformance/issue. It alone is generally not enough to complete a full root cause analysis for a corrective action plan. #problem #rootcause #fix #fishbonediagram

The simplest root cause tool, 5 Why allows you to look at the problem by asking questions till you find the true reason. Walking through the process will help in this. While not always the most effective method, it is good for the layman. #5why #problem #rootcause #fix
December 9, 2025 at 1:14 AM
There are many types of tools to use to determine the reason for problems. Some are easier than others. Each sector of business will need to use different kinds depending on the complexity. Remember that process owners need to understand them to use them. #problem #rootcause #tools #business #fix

Knowing when it's time to move on, where at work, or in your personal life is difficult and challenging. It is something each individual has to contemplate on their own. #moveon #contemplate #life #difficult
