In my experience, problem-solving skills are developed when you need to solve a problem and have no one to rely on. Sometimes, you can leave problems to subordinates in a controlled environment and give them time to figure it out for themselves. Of course, if necessary, you should be ready to help them quickly or solve the problem by showing them the right solution. No amount of coaching, webinars or mind-sets develops this skill effectively. "If you want to learn how to solve problems, solve them."

Cultivating problem-solving skills in juniors is crucial and is a key aspect of mentoring junior team members. This article has captured the key highlights, I am adding a few more from my experience. 1. Encourage independent thinking: Allow juniors to spent time individually to tackle the challenge on their own initially till they don’t ask for help. This promotes self- reliance and critical thinking. 2. Provide guidance not solution: Rather than providing a solution, encourage them to ask relevant question and provide support in problem- solving process. This also promotes sense of accomplishment.
