- 20. Recognition The quotesfromthisbookarefromChuck Kepner. Through his work with the Rand Corporation in the 1950s, Chuck Kepner discovered that some managers and directors were better at solving problems than others. He also believed that decision-making and problem- solving in private business and government weren’t skills that you either had embedded in your DNA or you didn’t. They were tools to be developed through hard work, dedication and perseverance, and with the proper training. Together with Mat-thys Fourie, they developed the KEPNERandFOURIE method of critical thinking and problem solving which has been used in many companies throughout the world.
