Episode 192: Don't Take On All of Your Team's Challenges as Your Own

Think about when you’ve been in the situation with a team member where they tell you about a challenge they’re having and then turn it over to you. It might have happened so quickly you didn’t even realize they had done it. Or you might be so good at putting out fires in the office that you didn’t consider until now that it had been turned over to you.

This episode shares why you shouldn't take on all of your team's challenges as your own--and what to do instead.

Remember, as a leader, your is not to solve problems, but to help your team become better problem solvers.

Your One Bold Move: Coach your team members to handle their own challenges by giving them the responsibility, support, and encouragement they need.
