Low standards: manifested as “good enough”

One of my biggest issues. And it’s not directed at me. It’s at my people. I hold myself to impeccable standards. But let my people off the hook.
Two issues I see.

First I let them stumble because I downgrade their capabilities until proven wrong.

Second it’s my tendency to help. Both stem from the same place.

And it all leads to a lower functioning team.

The fix: empowerment and failure.

Give them room to grow or fail. All I can do is coach, not do.
