Description

As managers, we're trained problem solvers, making it oh so tempting to jump in with solutions when a team member is stuck or needs help. 
The problem is, when we jump in too quickly, we prevent our team member from learning from a setback, trusting themselves solve problems, or bringing their own creative ideas to a situation. 
In this episode we talk about how to stop ourselves from problem solving as managers and what to do instead.
