Why are we solving the problem this way?

What’s the larger goal?

How does this task fit into the bigger picture?

Unfortunately, the answers were rarely given upfront. Instead, I was expected to just “do the task.”

Here’s what I’ve observed:

Some managers are under pressure to deliver fast

Some assume context will come “later”

Some don’t realize how important understanding is for learning and motivation

And honestly, some just haven’t been trained to onboard or mentor properly

But without understanding the "why," employees:

Lose ownership

Struggle to innovate

Work mechanically, not meaningfully

I believe that sharing project understanding empowers people. Even a 10-minute overview can make a huge difference.

To the managers reading this:

Don't just give answers. Share the problem.
Don’t just assign tasks. Share the vision.

It builds trust. It builds teams.

Have you experienced this? How did you handle it?
Let’s open up this conversation—because good leadership starts with awareness.

People joining TCS at Senior Consultant designation with 12 years exp, with no MBA degree or even from with exceptional experience in niche technologies is truth these days.

Makes me wonder if companies are really enjoying so called great resignation period. What's the thought ?
