This is how I get reminded about the value of Calmet community! Behind my back, a very nice and focused discussion, with a very tangible output - "modeling that process of problem solving" and "Providing some steering when necessary although providing a space and schedule to keep it moving" is what I will take from it. Indeed, as Bernie said, there is often a fine line between running the show and allowing it to happen. I think we are converging to the fact here, that the managers and leaders respectively (I also had to dwell over these two) have to keep the show going (providing a space and schedule) and lead by example on how to solve the problem (by not giving the solution perhaps). Not always easy to keep this in mind, but on the other hand it comes pretty naturally - this is the way you actually 'keep the reins' when it comes to educating your children for instance (and we are born with that additional sense).

Many thanks both, you wrapped this session very nicely!
