Figuring It Out Together

"Can you tell me a little bit about your leadership style?" she asked me during our first 1:1. "Of course," I replied. "One of the most important things to know is that I'll rarely give you an immediate answer when you come to me with a question. And that's not because I'm lazy or don't care about your success... or because I don't have an opinion. It's because my job is to help you grow. And if at the end of our time together you haven't further developed your critical thinking skills, then I have failed you. So come ask me questions and I'll help you get to an answer. Most of them you already have anyway; the rest we'll figure out together."
