As a leader, it feels pretty amazing to achieve a goal or succeed at a task. But, it is inspiring, empowering, soul-satisfying, and gratifying to help others find their path, and figure out what their own road to success looks like. You may want to tell them, do it for them, or even prevent them from failing, but when you do, just like a parent, you rob them of the value of the lesson, the value of the failure, and more importantly, the lessons in how to recover from the failure. When they can rebuild, the success is that much more glorious, and their triumph feels so much more powerful, for both of you!
