Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/542-employee-on-boarding/ **Episode Summary: The 1-3-1 Problem Solving Method for Small Business Owners** Co-hosts Henry Lopez and David Begin introduce the 1-3-1 Problem Solving Method, a simple yet effective approach to empower your team to independently tackle challenges. This method encourages critical thinking, autonomy, and proactive problem-solving by guiding team members to define a problem, brainstorm three possible solutions, and then recommend one solution to implement. As a small business owner, you don’t have to be the Chief Problem Solver. By teaching your team to use the 1-3-1 method, you can delegate decision-making, develop your team’s leadership skills, and free yourself to focus on strategic activities. We’ll walk through how to introduce this method to your team, using real-world examples, and share tips on how to foster a culture of independent problem-solving. Key benefits of the 1-3-1 Method include: - Empowering teams to solve problems on their own. - Reducing dependency on management for day-to-day issues. - Accelerating decision-making. - Encouraging proactive, strategic thinking and boosting accountability.
