A senior executive once hired a consultant to fix a "problem department." After weeks of interviews, the consultant discovered something uncomfortable: the real problem wasn't the department at all-it was the toxic relationship between that department head and the CEO himself. The very person who'd hired the consultant to help was unknowingly sabotaging his own team. This scenario plays out constantly in our lives, revealing a troubling truth: most of us are terrible at helping, despite our best intentions. We rush in with solutions before understanding problems. We offer advice that makes us feel wise but leaves others feeling diminished. We mistake our need to feel helpful for actual helpfulness. What looks like generosity often becomes a subtle form of control, and what feels like support can reinforce dependence.
