How to support your team without doing their work
Someone brings you a problem and you jump straight in with the answer. You think you're helping but you're actually building a team that can't function without you. This episode of Career Espresso is about supporting people without rescuing them, asking questions instead of solving everything, and recognising when stepping in is the right call versus when it just feels faster.
What you'll discover
- Why jumping in to fix things doesn't help anyone long-term
- The impossible balance women leaders face (not supportive enough vs too involved)
- Specific questions to ask instead of providing instant solutions
- How to spot when you're rescuing rather than supporting
- What to do when someone says "I don't know" without taking over
- When stepping in actually is the right move
Perfect for women leaders who want to build capable teams without working late to do everyone else's thinking.
