Problems as opportunities

Problems fuel great leaders, providing opportunities to learn and grow to the next level.

The greater the problem, the hungrier they are for a solution. Leaders like Richard Branson, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates view problems as golden opportunities to disrupt the market and revolutionize the customer experience.

MORE IDEAS FROM THE SAME ARTICLE

Use the why lens

Great leaders only solve problems within their control. Ones connected to their biggest why. They ask:

Acknowledging the problem

Great leaders acknowledge there is a problem and demonstrate the severity of the problem and the benefit of the solution to stakeholders, partners, and shareholders.

Pointing fingers

Great leaders know that finger-pointing does not solve problems. It only adds new ones.

Separating problems from people

Great leaders separate problems from people. They ask questions until they understand the issue.
