From the supplier: The fire-fighting cycle describes a situation wherein managers do not or cannot attend to problems until they are already forced to. This results in time pressure and stress on the part of managers. However, this cycle can be broken by immediately addressing problems which demand immediate attention and by changing the existing problem solving approach. Several steps on how to eliminate the fire-fighting cycle are presented.
