Sometimes providing a helping hand can do more harm than good. Have you helped someone who continues to return for more assistance when what they really need to do is to extend their own capabilities or experience? That’s a situation where continuing to provide help doesn’t benefit the situation it only makes the recipient dependant.
Carefully determine the extent others are capable of and responsible for helping themselves.
Sometimes continuing to help reinforces their belief that they are incapable of doing something. You’ve probably heard the saying, “Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he’ll never go hungry.”
In order for someone to be able to fish and eat the fish, they have to get past their angst at putting the bait on the hook or cleaning the fish.
As a leader, your role is to help others get stronger, more capable and more confident. Sometimes that means withholding a helping hand.
