Why You Need to Stop Fixing the People

What is one of the most coveted praises for many leaders? That we are capable of problem-solving. It’s a commendable quality, implying the willingness to negotiate, make difficult choices, and persuade others to our point of view.

However, not every “problem” can be solved, particularly when it comes to the day-to-day task of guiding others.

We occasionally view employee situations as problems to be solved as well. Taking a fix-it attitude, no matter how well-intentioned, can be harmful not only to our own success as leaders, but also to the development of those we lead.

Recognizing when practical advice becomes impractical fixes will assist leaders in breaking the fix-it habit.
