You know, when you're looking at your business, you're used to looking at it a certain way. You don't really know what your team is talking about. You don't really know what your team is fully capable of unless you give them the opportunity to step up. The reason that this cycle happens, like for instance, in meetings, Is it hard for you to sit back and not say anything in a meeting because you feel like, I know the answer? Let's just shortcut it and get to the point. Every time you do that, you're giving a message to your team, I don't trust you. So when they come to you for questions, you want to say things like, well, what would you do in this situation? Really is just ultimately empowering them. And then to own the vision, letting them make mistakes. And I know that is really scary. But I'll tell you, how do we all learn when something is a little bit painful? We do learn. And so we have to give them an opportunity to have that learning curve.
