A manager can ask "What would you do?" instead of answering every question. Over three weeks, your team stops bringing you minor issues and starts solving them. It's about delegating thinking, not just tasks.
This is gonna sound ridiculous, but you are 4 words away from buying back your Friday afternoons. Every time someone on your team comes to you with a question, before you answer, just say these 4 words back: What would you do? That's it. Week 1, they're surprised. Week 2, they come with the question and then they come with the answer. Week 3, they stop coming for the small stuff altogether. So you're not delegating a single task, you're just delegating the thinking. And that's one principle from the 21-Day Email Series. The link's in the bio. It's sell more, lead better, grow faster.
