Es importante relacionarse con las nuevas generaciones, entender como piensan y aprender de ellos sin menospreciar su poca experiencia, mientras más jóvenes son podrían ser más curiosos y en eso hay aprendizaje para nosotros.

Curiosity leads to passion and passion leads to more curiosity. Find something you are genuinely passionate about and then you'll find the curiosity come to you naturally. And there is no pressure for this to just be about your career or limited to one area; this can apply to even hobbies.

A self-employed creative solver is one who is well-versed in many subjects. How else can we aim to solve problems we don't understand, right? That's why it is critical for creative problem solvers to value learning above all else. As children, we showed extreme curiosity; we were always questioning everything (sometimes at the coat of a scolding) nevertheless, we didn't stop. It is, therefore, no surprise that what we learn in our early years sets the foundation for our future knowledge and ability to solve problems. In order to be a good self-employed creative problem solver, one must keep an open mind and learn new things. Problem-solving becomes so much easier when our subconscious is programmed with a plethora of relevant information.

Totally agree ?? and to add to that the curious journey is so exciting and usually takes you far. Once you develop curious mind you'll always benefit from it.

I have found not limiting yourself to your field or industry to be helpful. diverse networks expose you to fresh perspectives and unexpected opportunities .

Além de oportunidades, colabora??o e referências, o networking associado à empatia pode levar à previs?o de futuras demandas que ati?am a curiosidade e orientam novas perguntas e conhecimentos que podem se tornar diferenciais relevantes.

Expansion of networks includes growing relations with various professionals from diverse fields. It entails being informed about a range of professions and how they could be of vitality to you and your business. Networking is not only limited to socializing but researching and enriching relations with a wide range of individuals in order to broaden your scope.

Don't reinvent the wheel if you don't have to. There are always opportunities to learn new skills while building upon the old ones. Sometimes you need to completely start fresh, but you may be more efficient and effective overall if you start looking at your own experiences versus how others have solved problems.

Conhecimentos estes, que certamente ser?o úteis na solu??o de novos problemas em novas situa??es.

Empathy is probably the most important part of creative problem solving. If you are solving an issue for one party, but create an issue for others, did you really solve the problem? As I've said before, when I go into a room to solve a problem, no matter how many parties are involved, the big picture for me is that we are all on the same side and the fact that there is a problem itself is the real problem. When we solve problems, there is internal and external pressure and incentives to do so quickly and cheaply, but sometimes in doing so we ignore other problems coming up elsewhere and empathy is the basic tool to overcoming this.

The key to excelling as a team player is empathy. When you put yourself in another person's shoes, you can be able to understand the situation from another angle, hence being in a position to assist accordingly and this leads to healthy relationships amongst teams.

The world is rapidly changing; so fast in fact that what works one night may not apply the next morning. In such a fickle world, a self-employed problem solver is a superhero. The ability to learn and adapt to new scenarios is your superpower. Employ the learnings from the past and think about solutions that could be useful even if things change. For instance, let's consider the use of electric cars. it solves the fuel problem but raises utility bills. Think of solutions that could help with cost-cutting on EV charging. A creative problem solver can anticipate problems and adapt to new resolutions based on current methodologies. Being a lifelong learner helps a creative problem solver adapt to all things new.

It is not as though a creative problem-solver doesn't have a margin for error. You may hit all the right notes and still end up with average results. That does not mean that your solutions were lacking a combination of imagination and practicality. It simply means there were certain factors that were overlooked or have changed since the inception of your idea. Make it a habit to learn from that too.

Take some time to reflect and understand how to approcah the subject better and employ the learnings in your next creative solution.
