For all of their elementary, secondary, and college education, students are directly told what to do, they must follow directions/assignments, which is obviously unlike the open-ended work world. I coach my students that before they go to a team lead, they should (1) first ask and collaborate with their peers on the team, (2) prepare and propose one or two ideas/solutions and then go to their lead asking for their feedback on the proposed solutions, rather than for open-ended questions. | |

Asking the right questions gives the individual the power to affect their own environment, they become not only more autonomous but feel link they have more mastery of the subject (channeling Dan Pink). I cannot recommend this answer enough. | |
