SCB Coaching
You may think that being the fixer might feel helpful, but it actually teaches your team to wait for you, rely on you, and avoid thinking for themselves.
And that’s not leadership.
Instead, try asking:
• “What do you think?” — this signals trust and builds your teams confidence
• “What options do you see?” — helps them to problem-solve and become solution focused
• “What’s your next step?” — moves them into taking ownership and action
When you shift from giving solutions to guiding thinking, you go from fixer → developer.
And that is real, sustainable leadership.
This grows capability, self-belief, independence and reduces risk of a high dependent team that don’t take action without approval.
