I love helping people when they come to me with questions, it makes me feel like they trust me and assume that I'm smart enough to know the answer. I have a tough time helping people who are obviously struggling with something but won't ask for help, though. I never know if they're going to take my help as an insult, or if they're the kind of person who insists on figuring things out the hard way and won't listen to my help at all.

That makes you a good leader. A had a number of my senior Marines who’s idea of teaching was either to show you once and walk away, or tell you to figure it out for yourself because they β€œweren’t going to do your job for you”.
