Responsibility is a bit addictive.
It works best when we take it ourselves.
But giving it in small doses may be exactly what someone needs to get going down the right path (or to simply avoid the wrong one).
“I’d like you to X during the meeting” is a great assignment to give your report. “I could use some of your help at the front desk” is impactful to.
Neither are demanding, but both carry a bit of responsibility.
Stay Positive & Use The Hook
