MacGyvering Simplified: Problem Solving for Teams

In MacGyvering Simplified, author Scott Ellis distills decades of hard-earned experience into a practical guide for people who need to make decisions, solve problems, and lead with clarity—without waiting for perfect conditions. Drawing inspiration from the improvisational genius of MacGyver, this book equips modern professionals with the tools and mental models they need to think critically and act decisively.

But this isn’t about duct tape and chewing gum. It’s about simplifying complex challenges using structured thinking, accountability tools, and practical methods that actually work on the frontlines of business, manufacturing, operations, and team management.

Whether you’re navigating uncertainty, leading through change, or just trying to keep things from going off the rails, this book offers the clarity you’ve been looking for.
