What to say to complainers.

When a team member complains about something, simply say, "And what solution would you propose if you were a leader?" This teaches team members to solve their own problems and take personal responsibility for their business success. What holds us back. The only thing between where we are now and where we want to be is ... what we don’t know yet. Don’t let others tell us that we are not motivated, that our goals are too weak, or that we don’t care.
