View source for Empowerment: Keep the monkey off your back

Don’t fall into the practice of “solving all the problems.” Teach problem-solving, responsibility and leadership by “giving the monkey back.” When someone walks into your office with a problem, talk it through and help him. Don't let him leave the problem with you. Make sure he walks out with the problem and a direction toward a solution.
