Summary
Corey Phelps, the dean of Penn State’s Smeal College of Business, says great problem solvers are hard to find.

Phelps identifies the common traps and outlines a research-proven method to solve problems effectively. He’s the coauthor of the book “Cracked It! How to Solve Big Problems and Sell Solutions Like Top Strategy Consultants.”
