"Trust is giving someone an assignment and getting out of their way. Let them go do it and understand it might not be how you would do it, and that is okay. A little empathy and a few simple words can work magic: 'How can I help you?'"
"The shift from individual contributor to manager is fundamentally an identity shift from hero to coach. You stop being the one who solves the problem and start being the one who creates the conditions for others to solve it."
Transitioning to management is not suitable for everyone, yet many view it as the only path to advancement. Coaching individual contributors is crucial, whether they aspire to management or are being considered for promotion. Trusting employees and allowing them autonomy is vital.

This approach can enhance team dynamics and individual growth.
