Episode 7 | Answers vs Perspective

In Episode 7 of Leading at 47, I'm diving into a topic that took me some time to get comfortable with: the difference between giving answers and giving perspective. I've learned that always having the solution is often the fastest way to become a bottleneck — when we're the single point of failure, we're actually getting in the way. Providing perspective instead is a true force multiplier, because it builds ownership, surfaces hidden context, and sends a clear message to your team that you trust their judgment.
