Can definitely relate to this. But I have found that, when running a team, it can be very counter productive.

If you constantly solve all the problems that come it can be stifling for the people you manage.

I see this as "my problem is to grow these people" so I don't solve anything for them

I think it's just a case is perspective

Strongly agree with this. It may sound good in theory, but in practice, especially with real people, it can come across as overbearing, stifling, and exhausting for others. This isn’t meant as a dig at the OP. it’s just an observation based on personal experience with someone like that in my own family.

edit: I am not critiquing enthusiasm itself, but a compulsion that can be productive and unhealthy.
