KEY TAKEAWAY

 “As soon as you start saying, “okay, let's fix the problem, and I know the solution, just follow me,’ things fall down because solutions have to be invented by the people who are doing the work. So people who have the problem should find their own solution. What, as a leader, you can do is create the opportunity for them to find that solution. But, we make that mistake of saying, I know how to solve it, so I'm gonna help you solve it.”
