...problems, it's the ones responsible for properly informing them on how or what they need to do."

Hello zanthus,
terrific insight. Thanks.

Even if I know what the solution to a problem is, and I tell you, there is no guarantee that you would understand it or properly implement it.
The point is that, if you are capable of seeing truth when shown, you ought to be able to deduce it on your own. Else you have no hope.
Control the stupid masses that cant regulate themselves properly... that is why authority and government exists... because anarchy and chaos would ensue if people did as they please without forethought.

If you are talking about a work dynamic...
It depends on what they were hired for, their level of experience and the amount of judgment they are expected to exercise in their day to day responsibilities. If you hire a 16-year-old to run a cash register, you might have to make sure they know to say thank you to every customer. If you hire an experienced warehouse manager, you have invested them with a certain level of responsibility based on the reasons they were hired. They may have to adjust to the particular corporate culture, but that should be covered in some kind of orientation or training.
So, you really need to look at each situation and then decide what is expected of the person in a given position. Young or inexperienced people may require some additional hand-holding before they really get an idea of what they are supposed to do.

You can only inform to a certain degree. At some point common sense has to take precedence. People think for themselves and if they do not then no amount of information will teach them how to problem solve. Of course a bad supervisor will have everyone making idiotic mistakes for lack of or incorrect/incomplete information. It's never a one way street.

Kind'a true.
No one has a sticker saying that they are the ones responsible to inform everyone how to solve problems. For the most part, people have to solve their own problems. Governments are formed so problems could be solved that no single person is able to solve.
I think we need to slap that sticker on someone. It should be the same someones that are responsible for all of the other education. It's time that schools start teaching critical thinking courses.

Kind of, but really the ones in charge should provide a solid base of support , and provide the basic framework of what the problem is, and provide ongoing support and enthusiasm and encouragement.
The "how to" solve the problem should be left to the people assigned to SOLVE the problem.
In short, if there is poor leadership, then it is unlikely that the
people given the task of solving problems will be sucessful.
With great leadership, the people assigned to solve problems can flourish in an environment that makes it much more likely to be sucesssful.

On the job, we were supposedly hired because of alleged competence in some area, thanks to combination of our resume and the interview process.
Then over time, as our duties evolve, the managers may have a responsibility to teach us the new stuff, and we certainly have a responsibility to speak up if we are having trouble learning the new stuff.
As for problems with family and home life, there are tons of people we can go to for help, not all of them charging money for this, such as rreligious leaders.
We need to recognize when we are in over our heads, and where logically we should go for help ... family, professionals, books, Internet.

F. If this is work or school, learn to take initiative. Initiative isn't just a long word on a motivational poster. If you don't know how to do something, ask or research it. Take responsibilities for the mistakes you make, improve, and apologize for inconveniencing others in the process. You'll come out a much more independent person with a valuable skill base.

False. We're not automatons incapable of making decisions without the proper programming. We have the ability to _figure_ _out_ how to solve problems. Even if we're not able to find a solution on our own, that ability means it is our responsibility to at least give it an honest try.

Hello ffantasizing, I think it's very true! lack of communication is sure to cause problems, people make mistakes but if someone is not informed than it is not their fault when problems occur on top of problems.

No education no competency. I am not certain how I could cause a problem, but I am certain how I could cause trouble, i.e. impedance for lack of something essential. I guess if the supplier of facts is incompetent to do so, then you may become an impedance rather than a progressive. We have our duties defined for our positions or we have incompetence.
