In this episode, I explore the limits and pitfalls of the popular Leader mantra ‘don’t give me problems, give me solutions’.
I share that it raises the bar significantly for team members to bring up problems early before they blow up.
I then suggested a way to balance both needs; the need to require thought through input from the team member AND to share it early.
The question ‘what is your recommendation’ can be a great way to accomplish that as it embodies the coaching mindset, gives space and trains team members to take a position before approaching you.
I closed by adding that it all hinges with the response by the Leader. If they inquire further into the recommendation with curiosity, they will likely get higher-quality outcomes.Updates and Announcements

Lastly, the music has changed! I like the vibes of the new theme music a lot and I hope you agree!
Enjoy!
