title: Managing Problems Before Problems Manage You.
abstract: Every day we face problems, both personal and professional, and our initial reaction determines how well we solve those problems. Whether a problem is minor or major, short-term or lingering, there are techniques we can employ to help manage the problem and the problem-solving process. This article, based on my book Don't Tick Off The Gators! Managing Problems Before Problems Manage You, presents 12 different concepts for managing problems, not "cookie cutter" solutions, but different ideas that you can apply as they fit your circumstances.
