How to solve a problem in your company

Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman shares the best way to solve a problem.
Problems arise constantly in businesses, but an effective leader knows not only how to solve each one but how to prioritize them.
Stephen Schwarzman, chairman, CEO and co-founder of the largest alternative investment firm in the world Blackstone, told FOX Business the best way to solve a problem.
"I think about what the one or two critical factors are," Schwarzman said. "What's creating this issue and how do I figure that out?"
He said by determining the root cause of the issue, sometimes it's easier to solve it.

Also, he shared it's crucial to determine which problem is the most important at the time.
"There could be 10 problems. I don't think about the smaller ones at all." - Stephen Schwarzman, Blackstone CEO
He said by focusing on the bigger issues, you can be more effective at solving them. However, some people will still nag you about those smaller issues.
"The biggest issue I find with people is they think everything that could be a problem is really a problem," Schwarzman said.

"Those little ankle-biters aren't really important, but they occupy your mind. I don't let them occupy mine." - Stephen Schwarzman, Blackstone CEO

He said it's important to trust your gut when analyzing what problems seems like it will cause the most damage.
