Contrary to what we might assume, most people don’t want a literal map. They don’t want a step-by-step process. They don’t want their hand held.
On second thought, it’s not that they don’t want any of that.
It’s that they want something else more.
The feeling of achievement, perhaps.
Or the feeling of belonging. Or the feeling of prestige or transcendence.
When in doubt, people don’t need you to manage their work or be by their side the entire time telling them what and what not to do–that doesn’t lead them to a sense of meaningful impact.
Instead, they need you to lead. To point the direction. To outline. To pose questions, not orders.
To say something like, “Let’s go this way. It might not work, but let’s see what you can do.”
Stay Positive & If Someone’s Frazzled, They Don’t Need Help, They Need Direction
