Would contend a quality leader works beyond problem solving to identifying and removing the possibilities of problems occurring.
The role of a manager is to be adaptable and problem resolve within a quality strategic approach where the organisation is set to meet the challenges and be set up to resolve hiccups along the way.
It is a common fallacy worth challenging we are all running around strategically problem solving - empty rhetoric reflecting the lack of doing the job right first time - Can tell this was not written by a Japanese?
