> If you tell people not to report problems unless they have a solution, and summarily dismiss anyone who does so, some serious problems might just be left rotting.
I would expand on that and say that only bad managers do so. They are paid for exactly that. Manage their people and remove the problems that make their work hard. Sure, if their direct reports come with a proposal already, that is great because they now what direction to go TK make them happy. But if the managers insist on their direct reports to report issues only with solutions, then why do they need the manager in the first place?
