I think Sheryl is right on the money in this video. Having a skill is much different from talent in that it sets itself apart. In her reference, it would be someone who pushes through a set roadblock and manages to have everyone help them do it. Using your talents for the good of the team will always further the development of the team and business as a whole. It's important to recognize this and do everything you can to facilitate their success. Taking the time to carefully focus on them and grow their experience could prove valuable to everyone.

I really enjoyed this video! It was short and sweet. As an employee, it is very important to be able to identify as well as solve problems in the work place. Employers want workers who will sincerely put in time and effort to better the company. Of course no one likes a "know it all" so it is also important to know how to humbly relay your findings. Employees who speak up and have good ideas set themselves apart from others.

Identifying the problem definitely is key but you need those people in your organization where they can solve the problems.I know a lot of people who love drama wherever they go they start it. I honestly would not want those type of people to be my organization some day. Those people that are in an organization who can identify and control the situation are the best people for nay company. When problems occur... which they will people need to find the best possible way to fix it without adding more fire to it.

Finding people who want to go that extra mile are creative, and team players. They are the ones who want the company as a whole to succeed as well as the employees. Retaining talent starts from team players who look for ways to make the team better. Its as if you have a star player in the NBA on a specific team. That players sees weaknesses with the team and goes to the GM or coach and recommends a certain player to fill that void.

She has a good point. Nurturing the right people is what makes the difference. I wouldn't hire one person for each purpose. I'd make sure one person has all those skills and knows how to use them. A bigger problem than nurturing that person is finding that person in the first place.

Problem solving is key to owning a successful business. As an owner you should surround yourself with people who you feel confident will be able to contribute to the solving of business related problems. You need to have people who can solve the problems, but are also willing to cooperate with other individuals on the problems. The owner does not need to have people who will be combative towards others, hindering the problem solving issue longer than what it should be.

people that can not only identify a problem but also solve it are the ones we need to keep around. i liked how she said that we need to be able to bring other people along with us. im learning that one of the biggest abilities in business is the ability to shape the interaction with other people. how to win friends and influence people can sum up that concept. people are our biggest asset. great video!

I agree with this video 100%. There are certain people who should be in charge of solving a problem. Most people have the ability to see a problem, but not everyone has a good, plausible, idea as to how to solve the problem. I like to think that I have the ability to both determine and solve a problem. This is a quality I hope will show when I begin working in the professional work force.

Everyone would desire to work with people that are pleasant and easy to get along with. It is important to show these characteristics when in the work place or on an interview. However being that she is the COO of Facebook I would have maybe more appreciated advice on dealing with individuals who are more difficult to work with because you can't pick and choose your colleagues.

I like Sheryl very much and i've seen her on a few interviews now and I really like the way she describes Facebook and their business practices. I definitely agree that having employees who are problem solvers not problem identifiers is a great thing. I think the best way to start with this is, as she says, nurture those employees who are able to take control of their problems and solve them on their own.

This video is simplistic in nature and it recognizes the importance of paying attention to people who find problems and solve problems at the work place. So many times at the work place bosses and managers look to outside sources when those are working along side them are the ones who can solve the problem and get the job done.

Simple and to the point. As an employer or "boss" you should always seek out the employees to retain and nurture so that you are building your companies assets and resources via the human element. With the right choices in people, the company thrives.

Having employees who can work independent is of value when you move higher up an organization. This is worth pay increase and a promotion. The problem is most jobs actual discourage independent thinking. They inadvertently or directly train the to think less.

Problem solving and identifying are important things are to be able to do in any type of organization. This is definitely a necessary component to have in the workplace and a very delicate balance to achieve.

Being aware of what's going on around you in the most important part of retaining and nurturing talent. Talent is everywhere around us, in the most unexpected places, you just have to be open minded and perceptive of your surroundings. The best people to nurture are the ones who are willing to work with others and create a positive environment.
