“I trust you, just let me know if you need anything.” Six weeks later, the work is off track and you’re wondering why nobody is taking ownership. Here’s what’s usually missing, and three questions you can ask this week to find out.
When conversations about progress get treated like another management “to-do,” execution suffers. Goals get off track, priorities blur, problems surface late, and leaders spend more time reacting than leading.
If your leaders attend the training, enjoy the experience, and return to leading exactly as they did before, what was actually developed?
The Rescuer wants people to grow, but when the struggle begins, they step in and take over. The immediate problem gets solved, but over time they may be creating dependency instead of developing people who can carry more responsibility with confidence.
