{"product_id":"exploring-wicked-problems-what-they-are-and-why-they-are-important","title":"Exploring Wicked Problems: What They Are and Why They Are Important","description":"Former Secretary of State George Shultz once drew a distinction between \"problems you can solve and problems you can only work at.\"\nThese two types of problems have names: They are tame or wicked.\nMany people believe that their problems are \"wicked,\" yet few seem to understand what should be done with them. Wicked problems are messy, confusing, unstable, ill-structured, and ambiguous.\nThis book explores the timely issue of wicked problems - what they are and why they are important. The authors open the door to a greater understanding of wicked problems and an appreciation for their complexity, sharing insights and recommendations on how to tackle them to make positive and productive changes in relationships, at home, and at work.\nMaking one's way successfully through the mess of obstacles and impediments that wicked problems present puts maximum pressure on our capabilities and stretches our tolerance for confusion, conflict, controversy, and chaos.\nGet guidance on grappling with the wicked problems in your life by increasing your knowledge about what they are and why they are so important to keep working at - even if they can't be completely resolved.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 148088944X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.148088944X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bentley PhD, Joseph|Toth PhD, Michael\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
