15 Quotes on Problem Solving from Inspirational Leaders

Posted on August 9, 2014 by Yvonne I. Wilson in Quotes // 2 Comments

Everywhere we turn these days there are problems. It seems like we don’t have to go further than our living rooms to realize that. At the push of a button, the overwhelming, and often times glaring images and sounds are right there and it’s just hard for anyone to ignore.

The problems are getting more complicated by the minute. The strategies that were used to solve them yesterday, seems amateur when measured against the problems themselves and what it’s really going to take to get them solved today.

In the midst of it all, I would still say there is hope. And today we can be encouraged and inspired by words of wisdom from great men who no doubt have had problems and challenges of their own and who have recorded their mark in history of how to approach the problems without losing courage.

1.) “When a problem comes along, study it until you are completely knowledgeable. Then find out that weak spot, break the problem apart, and the rest will be easy.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale

2.) “How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself – so always think positively.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale

3.) “A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them and strong enough to correct them.”  ~ John C. Maxwell

4.) “A leader lives with people to know their problems. A leader lives with God in order to solve them.” ~ John C. Maxwell

5.) “In fact, it is only through the New Testament that we can learn just what Christian faith is…Open your Bible at any page you like, there is nothing about solving religious problems. Bible testifies that God exists and that He revealed Himself through Jesus Christ. It shows too that the man who lives without God is not living right.” ~ Wilhelm Busch

6.) “Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.” ~ John F. Kennedy

7.) “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” ~ Philippians 4:13 New King James Version [NKJV]

8.) “The way to solve the problems in your life is to open your heart to others and to think differently. This has better result and brings more peace and happiness in your life, especially ultimate happiness that you will experience forever and that you can give to everyone who is suffering and to everyone who needs your help.” ~ Lama Zopa Rinpoche

9.) “No problem is insurmountable. With a little courage, teamwork and determination a person can overcome anything.’ ~ B. Dodge

10.) “One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.” ~ Arnold Glasgow

11.) The bottom line is that if you become a master at handling problems and overcoming obstacles, what can stop you from success? The answer is nothing! And if nothing can stop you, you become unstoppable! ~ T. Hary Eker

12.) “The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities, We need men who can dream of things that never were.” ~ John Fitzgerald Kennedy

13.) “Through money or power you cannot solve all problems. The problem in the human heart must be solved first.” ~ Dalai Lama

14.) “We shall find the answer when we examine the problem, the problem is never apart from the answer. The problem IS the answer, understanding the problem dissolves the problem.” ~ Bruce Lee

15.)”Have you got a problem? Do what you can where you are with what you’ve got.” ~ Theodore Rooesvelt

Hopefully you have enjoyed these quotes enough to share this post with someone else so that they too can be inspired and encouraged through their own difficult circumstances today.

As always, I would love to hear from you.

Which quote inspired you the most? Do you think today’s problems are more man-made or simply, bible prophesy being fulfilled in our times?

Never let your problems take over your mind or heart. Take it easy and try to find a remedy and if you can’t then let it go. What’s the point of stressing over it, so it’s better to go with the flow. Maybe life has better things to offer you in future.

50 teamwork quotes to motivate and inspire your team

Why is teamwork important?

How to share inspirational quotes for teams, 50 motivational quotes to encourage hard work and collaboration, motivating you to motivate your coworkers.

Success takes a village. No matter how independent your job may be, you never truly work alone. And your individual commitment is only one part of the equation. Everyone’s work facilitates or disrupts a team’s ability to reach their goals and objectives. 

That’s why encouraging teamwork is so important. Doing so acknowledges everyone’s value and reminds the group you can’t accomplish as much without the help of others.

It’s easy to get lost in your own world. Busy schedules, remote work , and personal ambitions can make it hard to see your importance as a team member. But absorbing others’ wisdom is a great way to stir up self-reflection and motivate teams to work as one . 

There are plenty of team-building exercises and motivational podcasts out there, but sometimes a single inspirational teamwork quote is enough to ignite a new perspective.

Effective collaboration goes beyond strong relationships and trust. It requires individuals being dedicated to a shared purpose. And company culture plays a big role in uniting people around a common vision. When team members see they’re linked to one another by the same cause, it has the potential to drive stronger and more productive teamwork. 

Aligning team members around common teamwork values brings enormous benefits , like: 

Bolstering a sense of belonging

Creating community

Discouraging information silos

Encouraging creative brainstorming and problem-solving

Improving communication skills and efficiency

Using a motivational team quote to stir up excitement may sound like a scene out of a blockbuster movie — like a heroic protagonist delivering a scene-stealing monologue. But there’s always space to lift up your team members and encourage better collaboration. Here are a few ways to share an inspirational quote:

In team meetings: Building a great team doesn’t have a finish line — you can always develop a deeper connection with your coworkers. Consider using a team quote as an icebreaker to kick off a meeting. Choose a motivational quote that aligns with the meeting’s goals and invite teammates to share their thoughts. It’s a good strategy to strengthen team unity and invite self-appraisal .

Via internal communication: Consistently including an inspirational team quote in a company bulletin reflects the importance of teamwork to the company. Remember that positive quotes for work are secondary. They can’t do all the heavy lifting. Teams are built through action , and sharing quotes should mirror a deep understanding of your team’s work motivators and build a supportive workplace environment .

During a project kickoff: Beginning a new project by sharing a motivational quote for work deepens your team’s understanding of the purpose or overall vision . In addition to aligning team members, using a quote to prompt the discussion of teamwork stresses its import and keeps collaboration front of mind. 

When celebrating milestones: Employee recognition boosts morale and engagement . During a team celebration, sharing an inspirational quote personalizes the acknowledgment of collective efforts. It also reinforces everyone’s sense of accomplishment and conveys that teamwork is valuable. 

Whether it’s overcoming failure , accepting the help of others , or the importance of knowledge sharing , there’s a teamwork quote for every occasion. 

Here are 50 motivational quotes that encourage deeper bonds and stronger teamwork:
