Problem-solving
What is the Problem?
Generally, I asked this question in my workshops many times to my participants, "what is the problem?", that time they replied My Boss is a problem, my mother is a problem, my father is a problem, my employees are a problem, my neighbour is a problem, the situation is a problem, hurdles are the problem. Different answers came from their side.
Do you feel these are the problems no certainly not?
Approach to problem-solving: The difference or gap between the desired state and the present state is the problem. It means where you are now and what you want to become in between gap is the problem.
Gap Analysis?
Understanding the gap analysis is very essential to solve any problem. The gap may be Qualification, Knowledge, skills, attitudes etc.

- Attitude
- Skills Set :
- Hard skills
- Technical skills
- Soft skills
- Life skills
- Professional Skills
- Analytical skills
- Enterprising skills etc.
Thinking out of box
As Einstein rightly said On which level of thinking we have created a problem we can not solve on the same level of thinking.
Reframing:
If we will change the frame automatically perception changes
Reference point
If we change our reference point, we can easily change our model of reality and take decisions without bias.
Changing the perceptual positions
We are habitual for one type of thinking pattern and view once we change our position and can from others position we get a better understanding about situations.
Equanimity
If we will develop the skills seeing the things as it is we can avoid any problem.
