PROACTIVE Problem Solving
Stop the Stupid and Build a Smarter, More Productive Organization

Only 32% of employees feel engaged, while managers spend up to 3.5 hours a day fixing problems caused by flawed work systems. The result is frustration, squandered resources, and missed opportunities.
In PROACTIVE Problem Solving, Doug Hall — visionary & founder of Eureka! Ranch and Brain Brew Distillery — delivers a bold solution to Stop the Stupid and eliminate what’s not working.

North Pole Tenderfoot
Join Doug Hall on an adventure to the top of the earth – the North Pole. Leading the expedition is Paul Schurke of Ely, Minnesota, a genuine adventure hero.
As a brilliant businessman, Hall helps the world’s leading companies with big ideas and bold innovations, but on this trip he is a rookie, a raw beginner. In Admiral Peary’s words, he is a “tenderfoot.”
Peary had long been Hall’s hero, and following in the great explorer’s footsteps was a dream the tenderfoot wanted to fulfill. In fulfilling that dream, he also hoped to raise awareness for his Great Aspirations! charity, which focuses on teaching parents how to inspire their children.

For each of us, the journey to find courage is different, but within the pages of The Maverick Mindset you will find the wisdom and inspiration necessary to discover the courage to follow your own heart and lead a fulfilled life.
