7.LET THEM SOLO
You will never learn if people can generate ideas for themselves unless you allow them to generate ideas for themselves. So give them a chance.
Charge them with the responsibility of coming up with the solution to some problem, and see how they do. Put them in charge of something, and see how they do.
Your faith in them will make them have faith in themselves.
That is why so many people (like Harry S. Truman and Vince Lombardi) come through with flying colors when forced by circumstance to take on jobs hardly anybody thinks them capable of handling.
Don’t wait for circumstances. Let them solo before they are forced to.
