Isolating the problems and zeroing in on the opportunities helps to determine if the solution actually lies in training of the personnel or whether other interventions will be more effective ( HYPERLINK "http /www .bookbyte .com /searchresults .aspx ?type books author Goldstein 20Irwin 20L 20Ford 20J 20Kevin " Goldstein Ford , 2001 . For some problems , training of the staff can remedy a situation and in others , a new approach can solve the issues at hand
