The Overlooked Half Of 'The Let Them Theory'
Friction is the best teacher we’ll ever have, but the hardest to accept. It acts like a mirror. And our level of growth depends on our willingness to look at our own reflection.
The Let Them Theory certainly helps to reframe how you can approach the unknown—specifically with empowered decision-making. Where it falls short is in accountability. This is the “Let Me” part of the theory, where you can decide what to do after you’ve let them be.
We also talk about power, authority, and the ability to reprimand.
Oh, and the problem with meeting confusion with aggression.
