When Wilbur and Orville Wright, Popularly called the Wright Brothers finished the first successful
manned flight on Dec. 17,
1903, they amazed and astonished the world. They also demonstrated the power of their
problem solving method.
They not only solved a problem that others had found too
complex and technical, but they did it without any help from outsiders. These brothers had little formal training or
education, but they had amazing brainpower. Few accomplishments can match what
these two former bicycle mechanics did with that flying machine. The key principles of problem-solving used by the Wright
brothers are still relevant for business owners today.

brothers are still relevant for business owners today.
There are only eight of them, and here they
are:
1. CONSTRUCTIVE
CONFLICT: This conflict can be used to discover and validate new
ideas/strategies to find a practical answer.
2. TACKLE
WORST THINGS FIRST: When big problems
are put first, the cost for the whole is limited to this set should a solution
prove unachievable.
3. JUST
PLAIN TINKERING: New approaches can be created by tinkering with parts of a
problem when you’re trying to understand it.
4. RIGID
FLEXIBILITY: Flexing the mind allows for
thinking of possibilities outside the realm of policy, tradition, or
experience.
5. FOREVER
LEARNING: Learning as a lifelong passion is essential for finding the
information to solve problems.
6. METHODICAL
METICULOUSNESS: The fastest, most efficient way to solve a problem is by being
meticulous and methodical in your approach.
7. EQUITABLE
TEAMWORK: The force of a group with a common
purpose is multiplied by interdependence and powered by trust, effort,
profits, power, and honor.
A side benefit to these steps is that there is an added
financial bonus. By using these
principles, the Wright brothers minimized their costs to less than $1,000 and
solved the problem of flight with mind-boggling speed. Would there be any business owner who wouldn’t want to solve a
problem in his business and cut cost at the same time? I doubt that, we are all into business to make profits. Have a wonderful day.
