Linetime: I Don’t Know, What Do You Think?

Published in the September-October 2014 issue

An employee comes to you for advice on an issue. Don’t simply solve his problem using your experience and knowledge. Instead, say:

“I DON’T KNOW. WHAT DO YOU THINK?”

WHY? This answer doesn’t show weakness or ignorance. It demonstrates your eagerness for your employees to think on their own.
