How to be a better problem solver
Take ownership of the problem
I believe this is the base requirement for solving any problems in life. Focus on one problem at a time.
Listen to the problem
Spend your maximum time with the people you are solving the problem for. Not on google , not by yourself — But with the people you want to solve the problem for.
Passion to Learn
Learn from other problem solvers across the world. Have a passion to observe and learn from the new advancements in problem solving across the world.
Confidence to Ask
Build the confidence to share your solution with other experienced problem solvers. Ask for help — there is no shame in that.
Build a tribe of problem solvers
Inspire, lead and coach a team of problem solvers to work together towards the solution.
Ego Aside — Collaborate to Solve problems faster
It is natural to feel the possessiveness to the problem you are solving — But always remember there are other trying to solve the same problem across the world — Why wait shoot a mail or make a call.
Patience and Perseverance
Not every day is going to be exciting , Problem solving is not necessarily happiness , There are bound to be more failures than successes. If your problem in genuine- you will eventually find the right solution
Problem solving is fun
It is like solving a puzzle — No matter how many times you fail keep enjoying it all the way.
Remember Problem is a good word ! Cheers to problem solving !
