Unlock your Real Business Problem — and Solve it — Sooner using Anticipatory Leadership
If you have read any of my past blogs, you know that in my Anticipatory Leader System, I teach a competency called the Skip It Principle.

Most problems that surface in our daily business operation or in our industry as a whole are not the real problems we should focus on. Instead, they are mere derivatives of a bigger problem that is actually affecting our realities.
