How to Instill a Problem-Solving Mentality Within Your Team

How to Instill a Problem-Solving Mentality Within Your Team

Problem-solving skills are essential for project managers, yet many teams lack the confidence, ability, or experience to solve issues on their own. This can result in every problem reaching the manager's desk and taking up valuable time. To avoid this, managers can empower their team to develop problem-solving skills. One way is to slowly introduce problem-solving concepts in the workplace, such as setting up weekly challenges or asking for input on challenges. Another is to implement a simple problem-solving process, such as the IDEAL method (Identify, Define, Explore, Act, Look back). Finally, managers should appreciate individual approaches and allow teams the freedom to solve problems in their own way.
