Have you ever wondered why
more problems are brought to your desk than solutions? As an entrepreneur, you
need to teach your staff to come up with the solutions to the problems they have
even before they bring it up. They must be thoughtful and innovative; they must
understand what it means to bring solutions to issues in a company without your
intervention.
Not every problem must be
solved by you as the employer. There are loads of things that are bagged out on
your agenda and you don’t want your staff to bore you with silly problems that could
be easily resolved.
We know though, that
employees are the first to find faults and problems within the
organization. They do not
feel they have any stake in the business, so why should they think up solutions?
They forget that they are a part of the company and the smallest decisions
affect them too. By the time you put your staff through the exercise of finding
the solution before the problem, you would indeed discover those that have the
intelligence or kind of thought process you require.
You would be able to
separate the chaff from the wheat. Who needs a dullard these days!
Except he knows he’s job
depends on proffering solutions to his own problems, he wouldn't take it just
as serious as he should.
Gone are the days when
employees are been spoon-fed with training and workshops, as much as that is
required by organizations, many have budget cuts that it is now left to the
employee to keep himself on top of his team at all times.
It is important for every
individual to sharpen his/her thinking, and intelligence.
Lastly, a non-innovative
and non-productive staff is a total loss to a company; and also the major cause
of snail-growth or no growth within an enterprise.
It takes a lot of patience
to build a dedicated team of innovative minds; the pain, and time is worth it.
