How to take a solution-oriented approach to resolving problems - Thrive Global

Employees expect leaders to solve problems both big and small. But a leader's attention will be focused on issues of significance (financial crises, unexpected mergers, and acquisitions), which means medium-sized problems are often put aside, to return later with a vengeance!

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

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.

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.

This way, the leader not only takes responsibility for making the problem transparent, but he or she also explores different dimensions of the problem, consequently benefiting from others’ ideas.
