Ep 56 - Stop Bringing Problems. Start Bringing Solutions.

Most people bring their boss a problem and wait to be told what to do. That's not communication, it's dependency. And leaders who keep solving everyone's problems aren't leading. They're bottlenecking. In this episode of Leadership for Life and Business, I walk through the POR brief (Problem, Options, Recommendation); a communication framework I used for years in the military that changes how problems get solved, how leaders see their people, and how teams learn to think before they escalate. I also cover the flip side: what leaders need to start requiring from their teams if they want to stop being the bottleneck in their own organization. This one is practical. Build the brief before you walk in the door. Leadership In Motion Newsletter: https://topcoverconsultingnewsletter.beehiiv.com/ Have questions for the podcast or maybe even an idea for the show?

Most people bring their boss a problem and wait to be told what to do. That's not communication, it's dependency. And leaders who keep solving everyone's problems aren't leading. They're bottlenecking.

In this episode of Leadership for Life and Business, I walk through the POR brief (Problem, Options, Recommendation); a communication framework I used for years in the military that changes how problems get solved, how leaders see their people, and how teams learn to think before they escalate.

I also cover the flip side: what leaders need to start requiring from their teams if they want to stop being the bottleneck in their own organization.

This one is practical. Build the brief before you walk in the door.
