The analogy with raising a kid is powerful: just like a child, a team needs to be trusted slightly more than its current competence level to actually grow and prosper.
I hadn't given this enough weight before, but I now see that trust isn't just a reward for competence, it's the fuel for it. We need to give people the space to swim (even if they risk sinking a bit). I’ll carry this lesson with me for my future career. Thank you!
Sensational piece.

This is a great depiction of the possiblities!
This is brilliant. And like other elegant theories, explains so much.
