The Manager's Dilemma: How to Empower Your Team's Problem-Solving

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by the amount of issues escalated up to your desk?

Like most managers, you're a great problem-solver. So what do you do when a team member brings you an issue? Yep, like most managers, automatic reflex kicks in, you dive straight into it and sort the issue out. Which is great for that one issue. But what about the 10s or 100s of other issues that arrive on your desk daily?

You know where this is going, don't you? Lots of interruptions. Frustration. Decision fatigue. Drowning under the weight...Is this inevitable? As a manager, do you have to just put up with this?

No, there is another way. You can signpost how escalated problems should be presented to you. You can diagnose at which problem-solving step your team member is getting stuck at. You can coach your team members and empower them to sort out a chunk of their own issues. You can build their confidence and free them up.

More importantly, free you up!
