Being a business owner, or running a group of people who are trying to get a job done, can feel a lot like being “Mr. (or Ms.) Fix It”. Problems come to you. It’s your team delegating things up to you – the things that aren’t going well.
But if you get all the problems, maybe you haven’t trained your team well. Maybe you have not empowered them enough to think on their own, given the goals and values of the organization (surely they know them, right?). Maybe you have made them dependent on you as the one who will save them. Maybe you have made yourself the central communication switch for bad news. In doing so, your team doesn’t think about preventing problems so much, because they don’t have to deal with them anyway; you do.
Don’t be upset. You did this. The good news is, you can change it.
Right?
Yes we can change it and good morning sir see you in a day or so
