A very accurate sum up of how a culture of over-dependence can quietly take hold and how it often stems from good intentions. I’ve seen this as well in corporate environments: leaders trying to be helpful end up becoming bottlenecks and teams get conditioned to seek approval instead of taking ownership (I was also one of these people). I gave upward feedback once to my supervisor saying that the shift to clearer delegation and autonomy required him letting go of control, which, I appreciate, is often the hardest part.
