Problem Avoidance vs Problem Solving


Are you good at solving problems? Do you look for people who are good at solving problems? Creative problem solving skills are good to have within your company. But let me offer some thoughts on a skill set to look for that is even better.

Hire people who find ways to avoid problems. If you solve every problem, you come back to normalcy, which is the condition you were in before the problem. Even if you’re the greatest problem solver, you’ll always find it hard to get ahead because you are spending so much time solving problems instead of doing the things to avoid them, which will allow you the time to take advantage of opportunities. 

Be a problem avoider .... emphasize the importance of this skill set.
