Enabling vs. Helping
- Enabling is doing things for your team that they can do themselves, driven by fear or discomfort.
- Helping is doing something for your team that they cannot yet do for themselves, offering guidance and support.
Avoid Rescuing and Over-Solving
- Avoid rescuing teammates from mistakes; instead, provide instructions and clarity.
- Encourage problem-solving and ownership rather than constantly providing solutions.
The Downside of Enabling

- It hinders team growth and creates a burden for the leader.
