I get this question very often.

And to kind of, you know, give you the bottom line on this, fixers lead through giving answers, solutions, and coaches lead through expanding your thinking.

Lead like a coach.

You are helping that person expand their thinking, build independent judgment, critical thinking skills, create ownership of whatever they're trying to solve.
