What if the biggest mistake in problem-solving is solving the wrong problem?

Mitchell, the Director of Sales Support at Western Shores Financial Credit Union, thought quick thinking and bold moves were the keys to leadership. But when a high-stakes project-and a few personal challenges-put his methods to the test, Mitchell discovers that rushing to solutions without truly understanding the problem can be costly.

In this engaging business fable, Stop Jumping to Solutions reveals how even seasoned leaders can fall into the trap of fixing the wrong thing. Through Mitchell's journey, you'll learn how to:

  • Reframe problems to uncover hidden issues
  • Use data-driven thinking (not gut reactions)
  • Apply the PDCA cycle to solve the right problems, the right way
  • Avoid costly mistakes that erode trust and waste time

With humor, corporate drama, and practical takeaways, this story is a must-read for project managers, team leads, and mid-level leaders ready to ditch quick fixes and embrace smarter leadership.

Industry Reviews

"I read a lot of books on CI - Lean -  business etc. and there has been nothing quite like this. It's unique in that fashion. The examples each have a good lesson within them, and whether you work in asset management, human capital management, manufacturing, ANYWHERE, you can relate to the stories and the people." - Director, Continuous Improvement ($19B Human Capital Mgmt Company)

"Ed Beverly has revitalized the PDCA model for me. His blend of theory with a compelling narrative produces a unique book that is both instructive and enjoyable to read. This book makes complex planning processes easy to understand-without the jargon or corporate speak that bogs down so many leadership books." Commissioned Officer (British Army)

"Unlike a textbook that's boring and easy to set aside, this book is engaging-especially for those new to the PDCA process. The emotional depth, workplace politics, and real-life pressures made it feel authentic. It reminded me of "The Remedy by Pascal Dennis but even more engaging and accessible." - Senior Business Analyst (Top-Tier Research Institution)
