Glasgow Interactive Discuss Problem Solving In Leadership

GLASGOW, UK, November 2013 – Problem solving is the essence of what leaders exist to do.  As leaders, the goal is to minimize the occurrence of problems – which means we must be courageous enough to tackle them head-on before circumstances force our hand.

Karl Popper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Popper), one of the most influential 20^th century philosophers of science, once eloquently stated, “All life is problem solving.” The best leaders are the best problem solvers. They have the patience to step back and see the problem at-hand through broadened observation; circular vision. They see around, beneath and beyond the problem itself. They see well-beyond the obvious.

A leader must never view a problem as a distraction, but rather as a strategic enabler for continuous improvement and opportunities previously unseen.

Whether you are a leader for a large corporation or a small business owner, here are the four most effective ways to solve problems.

1.  Crystal Clear Communication

Problem solving requires transparent communication where everyone’s concerns and points of view are freely expressed. Communication is a fundamental necessity.

2.  Break Down Walls

Transparent communication requires you to break down walls and enable a boundary-less organization whose culture is focused on the betterment of a healthier whole.

3.  Open-minded People

Open-minded people tackle problems head-on and get on with the business of driving growth and innovation.  Close-minded employees turn things around to make it more about themselves and less about what is required to convert a problem into a new opportunity.

4.  A Solid Strategy

Effective leaders that are comfortable with problem solving always know how to gather the right people, resources, budget and knowledge from past experiences. They inspire people to lift their game by making the problem solving process highly collaborative; for them, it’s an opportunity to bring people closer together.

You know that you have great leadership in your organization when problem solving becomes a seamless process that enables the people and the organization to grow and get better.  Problem solving is the greatest enabler for growth and opportunity. This is why they say failure serves as the greatest lesson in business and in life. Be the leader that shows maturity, acts courageously, and requires accountability. Applying each of these lessons can help you become a master problem solver. Each experience teaches us all new things. Embrace problem solving and the many unseen treasures it represents.
