Problem-solving skill. And problem-solving skill is something that you're not really born with and you can acquire very easily. For example, problem-solving skill is all about asking right questions to the right person at the right time, which is going to the root cause of the problem statement and only then trying to solve it and not just getting started with the problem statement as soon as you get it. Let's say, for example, your friend is calling you for a movie tonight. The first thing that you're going to do is not going to say, yes, I'm coming. You're going to ask multiple questions. Which movie is this? Where are we going? What is the cost of the movie? Who all are coming with us? So after asking all of these questions, only then you will decide whether you want to go forward for that movie or not. That is what problem-solving skill is all about. Asking the crucial question that will help you understand the situation, and only then you can take informed decisions.
