Is there a cure for dependent thinking ...

Politically incorrect I know, but the American phrase 'you cant fix stupid' does make me chuckle. Yet when I see some decision makers wanting their hands held, I do wonder if there is a cure for dependent thinking.

It is as if they need permission.

The combination of a discussion with another senior examiner as well as an email exchange with some other souls in an entirely different context. Has done nothing, except reinforce my cynicism.

So, now to the question, is there a cure?

I have seen some souls improve with age and discover that they do not need to seek permission or rely on the say so of others to make a decision.

Maybe the cure comes with permission, as you allow them to make their own decisions they become less dependent in their thinking.
