Why problem solvers are infinitely more valuable. 

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but employees tend to be much better at pointing out problems than fixing them. “Hey Boss, just wanted to let you know that [insert business issue you’re already abundantly aware of here]. We should really do something about that, hey?” 

Staff drops problems in your lap as consistently as a golden retriever drops a tennis ball at your feet. 

But what if you could instill a culture of problem-solving within your team? How much easier would your life be if, instead of you being the single source of critical thinking, your entire team was encouraged and even rewarded for making problems go away on their own? 

In today’s episode of Contractor Evolution, I talk about why problem-solving is one of the most critical traits to look for in new hires and even how you can develop it with the team you already have. 

Watch this episode to find out why problem solvers are infinitely more valuable than problem finders. 

Highlights
- Why finding problems is easy﻿
- How to interview to find problem solvers
- How to spot Problem Solvers﻿
- How to instill a culture of problem-solving into your current team﻿

Tired of Endless Complaints: Contractor Evolution

This episode, I use the new Flash movie that hit the theaters over the weekend, as a unique metaphor for our lives and asked a great question, if we got to meet our future selves would they regret the choices you’ve made until now, or would they hug you and tell you that you’re going the right direction. 

I personally love time travel and quantum theories, but it really had me thinking what if our daily choices were impacting our future versions in a negative or empowering way?

Brewing some inspiration for your week!

Business Idea Generation

Dr. Stefano Puntoni, Sebastian S. Kresge Professor of Marketing at The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, shares key insights from his research, “Ideation with Generative AI: In Consumer Research and Beyond.”

The use of generative AI (genAI) in consumer research is expanding, but its role in creative ideation remains underexplored. Drawing on human creativity research, author suggest that genAI enhances ideation through productivity and semantic breadth, mirroring human persistence and flexibility. We distinguish genAI roles Designer and Writer versus human roles Interviewer and Actor and show that while genAI excels at incremental ideas, its greatest potential lies in prompting human creativity. This work offers theoretical insights and practical guidelines for integrating genAI into consumer research, highlighting the power of human–AI collaboration for breakthrough ideas.
