What is more important in terms of problem solving - EFFICIENCY or PERFORMANCE or INTUITION? Why?

Efficiency is the ratio of useful work performed versus the total energy or resources used. The higher the useful work output, the more efficient a person (or a machine is, as the case may be).

Performance is the action or process of performing a task or function.

Intuition is the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning.

In my own experience working for more than years, being efficient does not always translate to being effective. You can perform a task or process with a very high efficiency. BUT, if the task or process that you are executing is not the RIGHT solution to an existing problem, then you are not EFFECTIVE.

Intuition? Its an aid in making initial analysis (work related) but as a professional, all decisions should be supported with HARD FACTS. I'd rather stick to basic management tools when in comes to addressing issues, and these are;

1. SITUATION ANALYSIS

2. PROBLEM SOLVING & DECISION MAKING

I should say that my ability to solve problem (on the fly) and make bullet proof decision based on Kepner-Tregoe methodology is my #1 asset and has contributed to the company's growth, in general.

Thanks for invitation,

Efficiency is most important, as being efficient means that:

- You already have highly intuition for any deviation.

- You have the capabilities to solve problem in a scientific manner.

- You are always keen to fulfill all your obligations with with a highly performance.  

In terms of problem-solving overall performance is eventually carried out by efficiency in short which means how fast/efficient I'm or when it comes to limited time and intuitions are can be a part of problem-solving skills.

There is no standard answer for a problem solving way, each problem is unique, if it would not be unique that it means it has been there before and it has been solved before, thus it is not a problem anymore.

Evaluation of the problem is the most important thing, know the problem very well, take your time in this evaluation.

Never be afraid to ask advise, even from people who would be under you, use the knowledge inside your team, use all means available to you, it is not important what you use or what is more prefered, what is important is that the problem is solved, think outside the box as that gives you way more options and possibilities

these are all components in problem-solving.  performance is your scorecard. efficiency is your gauge where you belt your KPI when setting your objectives.  intuition is the add-on quality coupled with an analytical mindset in evaluating performance to make a decision or to derive a solution. as long as it is a business problem, a well-established balance scorecard is still my first point of reference to approach a problem.  

Thank you for the invitation ;

An effective management leader is not the one who can overcome a specific problem. He may have been lucky enough to find a suitable solution. He is the one who develops his style of problem analysis and develops his skills in dealing with it on a sound basis.

Therefore, the problems require a certain aspect of the deal in which the leader is capable of good communication and persuasive   

Being efficient because you have the competence and experience and become proficient in performance because efficient, experienced and performance becomes capable of persuasion

according to my experience i think efficiency is more important because if you are able to do some thing more efficient way so the person who is continuous giving performance in not suitable for that problem solving. some times perfoming person got stuck or done it wrong while other hand for each problem or any thing in life all time give chance to person who is right to do that thing in full efficient way according to your level of thinking or satisfaction.

1. Intuition

2.Efficiency

3.Performance

The following qualities are primarily required to be a good problem solver. 1. Unbiased attitude 2. Quick Decision making ability 3. Subjective knowledge 4. Leadership qualities 5. Knowledge of relevant laws

Thank you for the invitation. I would say Experience. Experience wil result in creating the intiuition. If I lack the experience in the subject then I will rely more on performance and logical analysis of the problem. Efficiency is the result of good problem solving.
