In this episode, I talk about an issue that many of us face as leaders and parents -- the balance between empowering our people to grow vs. giving them the answers.

And often, when they are the ones seeking their solutions, they come up with a bett...

It’s my job to adjust how I communicate—understanding is my responsibility, not theirs. 5. Confident kids are b...
