It’s our instinct, when faced with a problem, to quickly wonder HOW it could happen? Even if you had all the best preventive measures in place or perhaps you even safeguarded a situation so that nothing would go wrong…things can still go wrong.
So when things go wrong or a problem arises, try your best to not point a finger or dwelling on the HOW of the problem. Yes, of course, we want to know HOW so that we don’t make the same mistake twice, or so that we can learn from our experience. But if you practice being blameless and practice seeking the solution first, you’ll see a positive shift in how you and your team can handle a problem smarter, better, and faster.
The property management industry is a job for problem solvers. Crummack Huseby has made a solid reputation out of being incredible problem solvers with budgets, HOA issues, and even spearheading change with laws to help get clarity for homeowners in conjunction with the CAI-OC. Crummack Huseby is consistently tasked with solving problems for our clients, homeowners, as well and internal office opportunities. It's easy to get caught up looking back and asking the question of "why something occurred" but this question should be secondary. The first one to ask is “how can this be solved?” Yet even that requires 7 easy steps to consider.
Steps 6 and 7 are the ones I find invaluable in my job at Crummack Huseby. Solving problems in a way that is insightful focuses on moving forward. It gives your problem-solving momentum and also helps you and your team to put your heads into more strategic thinking by documenting solutions and possibly putting more accountability on yourself and others.
