Are You A Problem Solver Or A Problem Finder?

Being a great problem solver gives you that competitive advantage in the workplace. Being someone others rely on to help find solutions, is powerful. Now imagine if you also had a reputation for being a problem finder. You would be the person who can identify a problem before the world sees it — the person who can sniff out an opportunity for an unsolved issue. The solution could disrupt an industry and completely change the direction of your category. Problem finders are people who are open, looking and listening to the problems that others ignore. Being a problem finder has its essence in curiosity. It is the person who asks the beautiful questions that unlocks the problems that no one else can see. To be a problem finder you need to be inquisitive, take time to listen, ponder, and question everything. If you can encourage a child to be a problem finder, you will set their course in life no matter what they choose to pursue. While others avoid problems, be the one to see them and then ask the critical questions to solve them.​ © GB
