She's giving CEO/COO vibes. I bet she would crush it in either of those roles. It would be amazing if this article catapulted her towards running her own business. Loved this: > Hart gets to the front of the store, a product-display area in between banks of registers known as the horseshoe. “So what are you thinking here?” she asks Wright. “Easter or summer toys?” > Wright suggests summer toys and T-shirts. > “I think we should go after the eclipse,” says Hart, filling the section with eclipse-themed gear, as well as outdoor chairs and coolers. Micro teaching opportunity and giving the employee an opportunity to have input, rather than just "put eclipse-themed gear here"

That was a trap, she, as a boss gave 2 options for the answer: "easter or summer toys" then she proceeded with the 3rd option: eclipse. That gives bad vibes.

  In some contexts yes but I think the idea is to teach the employee that they can answer with a different option. But it does depend on their relationship and personality.

    They already did answer with a different option (T-shirts)

    If their answer is anything other than "eclipse", then they failed. There was no follow-up question to see why theh felt that way. There was no real discussion on strategy or reasoning. This is a trap.

      Eclipse is obviously the best possible answer. You don't need to spend 15 minutes deliberating on this. This is a teaching moment to encourage staff to give great ideas by demonstrating how to communicate great ideas.

        If they're teaching, they should vlbe guiding or explaining. This is a trap... or a terrible mentor/teacher.

  CEO/COO instincts, just needs to refine the trap to be more subtle.

  You are not allowed to be a CEO unless you use "summer" as a verb.
