Less may be easier. Less may be more manageable. But less may also be less fun.
It’s worth a pause the next time you say or think of saying the words: “let me take this off your plate.”
It’s human nature that overcoming challenges bring people more joy than overcoming, well, a non-challenge.
If there’s panic and pain and failures; then yea, it makes sense to lessen the load.
But a slight squeak? A complaint here and there? A little vent?
That’s a signal that they’ll celebrate the achievement more, not a signal to be saved.
Stay Positive & It’s A Fine Line, But That’s Where Leaders Dance
