“There are many useful skills in life, and problem solving is a fundamentally important one. It is connected to a lot of other skills, and you can think of it as the DNA of skill. Every skill solves a problem.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from The Vision, chapter 28
In other words
Every skill answers some kind of need. Writing carries thought, listening helps people understand one another, and planning brings order to work that has not yet happened. Beneath each ability is a problem it has learned to solve.
Problem-solving connects these different skills because it looks at what is happening, why it is happening, and what change would help. Other abilities become tools inside that search.
This makes problem-solving more than one skill on a list. It is a pattern running through many of them. As a person becomes better at seeing causes and shaping answers, the value of other knowledge grows too, because it can be directed toward the need it was able to meet.
