Title: How To Think Like A Lawyer 2

Peter Drucker was known as the greatest management consultant, and the father of modern management.

His approach to problem solving was a little weird; he would bring his Ignorance to the table and not his professional knowledge when dealing with Organisational Management problems. This is very closely related to the concept of Inductive Reasoning where one begins by asking questions on observing a problem or the symptoms.

Inductive Reasoning

This is also referred to as the 'bottom up' approach.
In many organisations the people at the bottom are always neglected In decision making because it is believed they know nothing. You'll be surprise what the Ignorant can do. That's just by the way!

In Inductive Reasoning, Lawyers or Researchers move from the intangible to the tangible. On making specific observations, without complete Information, they make the move and start opening up deeper hidden things.

It has been said that too much analysis leads to paralysis. Why wait until you know what to do? Ask your Ignorance, or the Ignorant.

In Deductive Reasoning, all the Information is available, but in Inductive Reasoning you might not have something you can put your hands on.

As a business owner, when you observe that certain areas of your business is not working like you want, instead of complaining or waiting, like Peter Drucker, employ the Ignorance approach. Start solving the problem even when all you know about it is the symptoms. That's how to think like a Lawyer.
Too much waiting has wasted a lot of great potentials.
