Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My team only ever gets the leftover scraps from me, and it shows
• My team keeps bringing me bare problems and looking at me to solve them, so I end up doing all the thinking
• I keep getting blindsided by the same kind of situation
• Given enough time I can reason my way to the right call, slowly working it out
• I’ve got a new hire starting and the lazy move is to just hand them whatever’s piled up in the backlog

Practices that may help

1. Use delegation as a development tool
   Assign Q3 tasks to team members who are ready to stretch — and treat the learning curve as the point.

2. Push recommendations up, not problems

5. Use genius mapping in onboarding

6. Attentional Deployment, Made Practical
   Attentional deployment is James Gross’s term for deliberately directing attention within a situation to change its emotional impact. Because emotion is partly determined by what we attend to, shifting attention toward or away from specific aspects of a situation can modify the emotional response without changing the situation itself. It includes both distraction (shifting away from the emotion-generating aspect) and concentration (focusing on specific features that generate a different emotional response).
7. Score your own past predictions to calibrate your outside-view use
   Keep a forecast log and score it — you cannot improve calibration without feedback on where you were over- or under-confident.

8. Defer heavily to base rates when entering a domain where you lack experience
   In unfamiliar territory, the class distribution should almost entirely govern the forecast.

9. Test branches by forming specific, falsifiable hypotheses
   Turn each branch into a testable hypothesis before gathering data.

10. Build pattern libraries through deliberate case exposure
    Systematically expose yourself to varied cases in your domain to grow the pattern library recognition draws from.
