When CEOs create dependency in their leadership teams

I'm the CEO and my leadership team has gotten really good at bringing me problems to solve instead of solving them themselves and I enabled this by always having an opinion and now I don't know how to step back without everything falling apart. We all know this dynamic is unsustainable but no one knows how to change it including me.
