Nobody likes problems… but everybody has one every now and then. Better than dwelling on them, look for a solution.
· Problems
· Are everywhere.
· Solutions, not so much.
· Be a finder of solutions today.
Problems – big and small, seem to be everywhere. While most things go right, some do not. It’s no wonder so many people walk around looking and feeling down. And since misery loves company, we often run to tell our colleagues or bosses that we’ve discovered one. That’s a mistake because most people don’t appreciate someone pointing one out to them – last thing they want is another problem. If you encounter one, look for a solution and become an advocate for it, or better yet just fix it. Leaders should coach their peeps how to find and be part of a solution to the problems they face. And when they do, they should be celebrated. Finger pointing is easy; finding a solution is harder. But everyone respects and remembers those who work on doing what’s needed to fix problems. Look around – you’ll probably notice that the people who get promoted are the ones who, whatever the problem, are part of the solution. There’s a lesson in that. Be a problem solver today.
