Have you ever listened to someone vent about a problem, and about halfway through realized they are the problem?

@RickiTarr
Leadership is to guide with confidence in your skills.

*Funny question, I used a phrase today that was from the boatyard busy days:
"Don't come into my wheelhouse with a problem and but not a solution."
The beginning of that reminder would send coworkers off to figure something out.
Peace.

@OWOP @RickiTarr Had a boss (owner of the company) that if you came to him to complain about a problem he would try to fix it. We all soon learned stop doing that, generally (ok always) his solutions made it even worse!!!

@EdBruce @RickiTarr

Language is the stories that we tell. It is a fluctuating blend of both creativity and song.

*I've got another phrase I pull out at benefits or parties, goes like this:
"So, what's your job?"
And after listening to an elaborate description for a while I say ...
"No, your job is the same as everyone else's. Your job is to make your boss look good and to look good doing it."
I'm mostly retired now but I still laugh at that and try.
Regards.
