The Problem Solving Problem

Employers often say that they want "good problem solvers" or people with "problem-solving skills" but when we ask them what they mean by that the answers vary wildly. And when we ask employees how they feel they are at problem-solving, they always say that they are good at it. When we ask them if they are given opportunities to problem solve they say, "rarely"! This is a problem-solving problem. Employers want it and employees have it, but the chances to use it are few and far between. In this episode, we discuss some ideas about how employees can take the reigns more and how managers can get out of the way to access those in-demand problem-solving skills!
