Diaper Genies are a FABULOUS invention– for parents and nurseries. They hide the stink of a poopie diaper and exponentially increase the interval necessary to empty the trash. The stink stays conveniently wrapped tightly in plastic so no one can smell it. The stink is unavoidable and the Diaper Genie provides a welcome reprieve. But sadly, in so many companies around the world, I see a similar effect.

I married an English gardener. She's part artist, part scientist, part gentle guide and part tough taskmaster. Over the years I've progressed step by step as her assistant. After hauling bag after bag of dark, pungent mulch to the flowerbeds I eventually was taught how and when to prune and clip and weed and deadhead. I'm learning that each plant and flower requires its own particular amount of water, sunlight and space to thrive.

For project managers, the art of problem solving lies in getting people together who all have their own areas of expertise and then finding the most effective and efficient way to move forward. This can be a complicated, painstaking process, and it’s often easy to lose sight of the big picture along the way. Still, by taking on collaborative problem solving with clear goals, leaders are more likely to discover smart, creative solutions to help the team progress in its mission.

Many people use the idiom “don’t judge a book by its cover” to remind others that people should not prejudge the value of something based solely by its outward appearance. Yet when it comes to actual books, few heed that advice. The simple truth is that today, nearly everyone judges a book by its cover. Covers matter. A lot. Fierce competition has made standing out from the crowd incredibly difficult, especially for indie authors.
