Tired of Endless Complaints
Contractor Evolution • 11m
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but employees tend to be much better at pointing out problems than fixing them. “Hey Boss, just wanted to let you know that [insert business issue you’re already abundantly aware of here]. We should really do something about that, hey?”
Staff drop problems in your lap as consistently as a golden retriever drops a tennis ball at your feet.
But what if you could instill a culture of problem-solving within your team? How much easier would your life be if, instead of you being the single source of critical thinking, your entire team was encouraged and even rewarded for making problems go away on their own?
In today’s episode of Contractor Evolution, I talk about why problem-solving is one of the most critical traits to look for in new hires and even how you can develop it with the team you already have.
Watch this episode to find out why problem solvers are infinitely more valuable than problem finders.
Highlights
- Why finding problems is easy
- How to interview to find problem solvers
- How to spot Problem Solvers
- How to instill a culture of problem-solving into your current team
