Startup founders need problem-solving skills to run a business.

Here’s a list of key skills to develop:

1. Critical thinking – ability to analyze the key factors around a situation and find the real problem to be solved.
2. Decision-making – ability to choose the right solution and see it through to implementation.
3. Lateral thinking – can think outside the box and come up with solutions that take into account other factors.
4. Creativity – ability to generate solutions by brainstorming and looking for similar models and sources of inspiration elsewhere and applying to the problem.
5. Determination – ability to test and try several solutions to find the right fit. 
6. Adaptability – ability to adapt to new situations and try new solutions.
7. Self-discipline – ability to stay focused on the problem until you find the right solution.
8. Positivity – ability to stay positive about finding a solution and not giving up.
9. Curiosity – ability to apply curiosity to the problem to spur new solutions.
10. Networking – ability to connect with others to find a solution.
