Here's how you can cultivate a problem-solving culture in your teams or organizations.

Its about perspective and how you look at the challenges - as something unachievable or opportunities for you and your team to grow. Once this mindshift happens where problems or challenges are considered as opportunities and not something that you feel like running away from, then it helps your team to come up with create solutions, where they are ready to take risks as they know they are not afraid to fail.

To create a culture of anything, norms have to be in place that are repeated and practiced. How we problem solve begins with how the leader treats challenges and issues within the team. Allowing the team to openly discuss issues and engaging them in the solving process shifts the experience away from waiting for the leader to present the solve. Asking questions encourages the problem-solving interactive process and dialogue. Innovation and creativity for problem-solving often just needs an outlet and a great coach. When you create the space for teams to strategically think, it cultivates the issue solving culture.
