90 second activity to building self sufficiency.

Building self sufficiency

You've heard the saying that the best managers are the ones that can go on holiday without everything falling apart. Yet many managers still like to feel indispensible and love it when their teams ask for advice.

People ask 'How do I …' or 'What do you think…' questions for all sorts of reasons - not just because they don't know what to do. Often it's just for reassurance especially if you have a culture that doesn't tolerate mistakes well.

Start to build sufficiency by reflecting back questions with 'What do you think …' responses.

If the answer is still 'I don't know' then try this one.

'Just suppose you did know, what would you do then?'

Be amazed at the resourceful answers you get back!
