Avoiding "Why" questions or "Are you sure?"

Give people a choice on moving up the ladder.

Which people are with you, and which aren't.

Let people own the decision even if you know better.

By being quiet you create the space for your team to innovate and take decisions. Creating thinking minds vs. moving hands.

Take this away and give people back their jobs. If you want to know what's going on, go and see your team, or have them lean into you.

Addiction to owning someone else's job, because you know it all, or are too afraid they'll screw up.

When you own someone else's job, or track their actions.

Empowerment means nothing. What would it look and sound like in the office? That's empowerment.

With competence and clarity comes responsibility and ownership. If the leader stops being the Idea Fairy and giving orders.
