Scenario

When teams become dependent on manager decision-making

My team keeps asking me to make decisions I don't think I should be making alone, but when I try to get their input they either defer back to me or give me answers they think I want to hear. I'm starting to realize I've accidentally trained them to avoid taking ownership and now I don't know how to untrain that without admitting I've been doing management wrong.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You've created a dynamic where your team avoids ownership, and fixing it requires acknowledging your role in creating the problem.
