EP 184 Increase Creative Problem Solving

Does your team lack creative problem solving skills?

You have the power to boost your team's skills. Your team might be trained to come to you to solve issues rather than take their own specific liberties.

Be specific with what your team can solve.

Celebrate moments of independent creative problem solving. 

Missteps are an opportunity to learn.
