Morphology

solutionist + mindset

The head 'mindset' is transparent and 'solutionist' is a derivation from 'solution' (+ agentive -ist), so a learner who knows 'solution' can plausibly infer a person/stance that favors solutions and therefore guess 'solutionist mindset' means an orientation toward finding solutions. However 'solutionist' is a relatively novel/technical coinage and carries pragmatic nuance (e.g., emphasis on action over analysis or mildly critical connotations) that may not be fully predictable to a B1 learner, so full comprehension without exposure is uncertain.

Etymology

Solutionist mindset creates the image of a person with a toolbox: a solutionist who always looks for a quick fix using a practical mindset. So, it means 'a way of thinking' that prefers 'practical fixes' and fast action rather than long thinking.
