Great article. . .

One of the questions from the bottom of the article: What needs to be taught in that 'teachable moment'?

I would say that learning to find solutions constructively with good outcomes is the most important skill an entrepreneur can learn because that's why they are entrepreneurs in the first place.

I think the process of finding solutions is important and exhilarating to entrepreneurs. Solving problems and making it through crises are almost physiologically addicting.

As a teacher I find myself easily bored with routine and constantly redesigning my lessons or approaches to problems with students. Some of that tinkering results in great solutions, other aspects of constant adjustment are not good for a classroom and a lot of stress results. With experience I'm learning to pick my spots for trying new things, but the thing I like best about teaching is finding new ways to help kids learn. I love to make new things happen.
