There is a difference between asking someone's input on solving a problem then asking someone how to do something because you can't teach yourself how to do it.

Having a friend explain something is not the same as reading it and comprehending the information on your own.

It is this critical skill that escapes most people today working in IT. It typically is this one skill that seperates those of us who exel and those who don't.

And it's not just true in IT. The person who does not have to rely on others for their answers will always be the one who exels at their job.

I choose to teach my subordinates how to problem solve so that they can find the answers on their own rather then look to me for the answers. I want them to be able to think for themselves without relying on others.

It's the whole teach a man how to fish theory with a twist, "The man teaches himself how to fish".

That is all i need, a guide to the right reading materials. As you know it is always toughest to get the ball rolling and out of no where.
Thank you...

Cheers!!!

Read the post and the point I was trying to get across.

Too many "Students" are using this forum to get people like me to do their homework for them. Instead of doing the work themselves.

I answered this gentlemans question about a different network on a different thread, and found it odd that he asked a totally different question about something else. Usually this pattern means the person is asking questions that he/she is supposed to solve on their own.

I'm all for helping people, but it comes at a price on the other end. The other person must be willing to work at finding the answer. Not just ask for the answer without even trying. You don't really learn that way.

You can claim that you can, and it may be possible to be taught by following step by step what others say, but you lose a critical foundation of self-thinking.

That is my point. No one spoon fed me information and I don't spoon feed my staff. And because of that, my staff can think on their own and solve problems that they would not be able to solve if I had just told them how to solve it.

Children, Children stop the back & forth it accomplishes nothing, doesn't do anybody any good, and is a waste of time. I found this squabbling most hilarious to say the least but, also to be rather childish.

A simple response of look at this link or that book would have been sufficient for the person. Surely this forum contains members who are at a professional maturity without having to get into this petty squabble. Most of us are here to learn not necessarily have it done for us but, to learn. I too ask questions not to have the answer given to me outright but, at least to be pointed in the direction where I will have the best chances of finding the answer's I seek.

You've wasted your time, and most of ours with your flames.

I don't care what you call your direct reports, but if you remember what our momma's used to say.. "if you ain't got nothin nice to say then don't say nuthin" you might want to apply that now.
