Own the Thinking Process, Not the Thinking: How Leaders Build Problem-Solving Capability
Episode 71 – Caring can easily turn into carrying. It happens so naturally we often don’t notice it. Someone brings us a problem. We care. We want to help. And somewhere in that desire, without intending to, we start taking on the responsibility of solving it ourselves. That shift is subtle. And costly. Because the moment you take ownership of someone else’s thinking, you take away the very capability you’re trying to build. In this episode, I explore a critical shift in change leadership: how to hold the thinking process so others can work through their own problems—without you stepping in to take it on.
