The Humanizing Work Show

The Problem with the Phrase "Don't Bring Me Problems, Bring Me Solutions"


Listen Later

In this episode, Richard and Peter answer the question: “I was in a 1:1 with my boss and I shared a problem I was observing on the team. She reminded me of her motto: ‘don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions.’ The challenge was that I didn’t have a solution. Should I wait to share the problem until I’ve come up with a solution?”

They also get into why managers shouldn’t say this, even if their intentions are good, and what to do instead.
