The leadership lesson of sledge rides with the kids

It’s only a few years ago I realized I can no longer sleigh down snowy hills with my kids. I have to either stand and watch or go down my own sleigh next to them. They are on their own now - I can only hope what they learned sticks. And if they fall on the way down the hill, it's up to them to learn from it.
Which reminds me.
When we build capabilities in others it's for them them to run their own path - their own future. The best way I know to enable growth is to letting them learn is being involved step by step. Not be transactional and dominant, but collaborative and involving.
