I think it helps to be so transparent and consistent as a leader and to coach your teams so well that in situations when the final decision maker is unavailable or inactive, people are confident in making decisions and progressing anyway
Truly insightful. And I agree with this completely. I remember adopting a strategy to back off giving ideas to my team since I had been frustrated hearing a complaint from upper management that some felt I was micromanaging them. But In a waste walk at the end of the year, one of my team leader confronted me and when I said that was my reason for going I'm that order, he reveled to me that I got that all wrong. Because they are always looking for me toncome up with new ideas to help us go faster and further. This time around I am going in with a lot to share and watch my team leaders grow beyond their present states.
Some questions you could pose:
-How clear are our current goals or priorities to you?
-What, if anything, feels uncertain or ambiguous about the direction we’re moving in?
-Are there decisions you feel you’re waiting on before you can fully engage or move forward?
-If you had clarity on X (insert specific project or goal), what would you do differently today?
-What’s slowing you or the team down right now?
(This is my favorite game to play with your articles… what questions would I ask?)

Sure thing - a red flag otherwise.
