Q: Do you recommend a problem-solving method?

In the Intentional Problem Solver , I teach simple steps that supervisors and managers can follow. You can use this method in most workplace problems. Some problem methods require more complex methods because the problems have many factors. Of course, I always favor simple methods. But there are times when a complex approach is necessary to solve problems that involve communities and nations.

Question 1

How can we teach employees to become problem solvers?

Accepted Answer

One way to teach employees to become problem solvers is to turn some of your workplace problems into projects. You can assign a project (problem) to an individual or to a team. You may need to teach employees your favorite problem-solving method. You may share some tools they can use to solve problems.

Start with small and short projects. You want employees to gain confidence first by working on problems they can solve. This will provide them with enough practice in the problem-solving process too. This way, you solve workplace problems while equipping employees to solve future problems.
