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

• I give my team a sharp, accurate read on what’s going wrong and exactly how to fix it, and they nod and walk away
• I give people good advice and watch it bounce right off
• The moment someone brings me a problem I’m already firing off solutions before they’ve finished explaining it
• I tell someone what went wrong but never say what I actually want instead, so they walk away knowing they messed up with no idea what "right" looks like
• My team keeps bringing me bare problems and looking at me to solve them, so I end up doing all the thinking
