Eric Siu explains the 1-3-1 rule: when employees bring you a problem, have them define it, propose three solutions, and pick the best one. This shifts accountability back to them and stops you from solving everything yourself.

If you're tired of you having to wipe people's poo-poo for them, then you should use this framework, the 1-3-1 rule. So that means they define the problem, they bring 3 solutions, and then they define what they believe to be the most viable solution. And when you lead with this framework, then the reverse delegation that's happening where people are delegating the problems to you, the pressure of the thinking is no longer on your plate. It's actually back on their plate. Remember, you've hired people to take things off your plate, but also to help make them successful. And this framework solves the problem.
