his episode explains why vague feedback from a boss can leave you stuck: someone can recognize a gap in your work without knowing how to develop you through closing it.
Using a sweet potato pie lesson as an example of effective teaching through demonstration, it contrasts "being told the right answer" with learning the underlying thinking needed to consistently perform in new situations.
The script shows how workplace development often breaks down when leaders provide outcomes but not their reasoning, leaving employees to imitate output rather than build capability. It offers a practical question to uncover your boss's leadership lens—"Can you tell me from a leadership perspective how you decided that was a priority?"—and variations for decisions, approaches, and recommendations.
If your boss can't explain their thinking, it suggests getting that teaching elsewhere, including Workplace Reality.
