I expect my teams to bring me solutions not problems, but I've had to teach them that, to empower them along the way and give them the trust, support and ability to think with that mindset; it's also meant I've had to accept failures on many levels, that's part of the process. I've never been comfortable making them learn by themselves though as in my line of work, especially in the past, can have catastrophic effects.
It comes down to the situation though and that's when the leader needs to determine the best way forward and then lean into it.
That makes a lot of sense. We aren't really dealing with much mission critical stuff here.
Yeah, I understand, I was just speaking generally. We each have our situations so need to play it the appropriate way; the same principles apply usually.
