When you're swamped with your own work, how can you make time to coach your employees – and do it well?
It's a common problem. But if you don't build your people's own skills and capabilities, they'll come to you for answers instead of finding their own solutions. Handholding kills productivity and creativity, and you can't sustain it. In the long run, it eats up a lot more time and energy than investing in people's development does.
