Article Review: Leaders don’t manage time, they manage choices
Right on the mark was my first thought when I read this article. Now doubt not only are choices what leaders manage, it is what leaders bring to the table.

Now the missing part of this article is the duty of the employee, associate, team member, individual contributor or whatever your organization designates the non-leaderships roles.
That a leader can offer a larger number of options the early he is made aware of the need options.

So fighting that natural urge to NOT bring up problems or issues early is a major part not just getting help from your manager,

but
supporting them in their role.
Now, if that leader or manager is not providing you choices. Well, I think we all know what choice you need to make.
