It's a practiced notion that managers should get out of the way (don't take it literally) after helping the team visualise the expected outcome and the potential path to reach there.<p>After that, it's extremely important that you ensure the team isn't distracted by other (external and internal) forces.<p>But that's not the complete story, there must be some cases when it's not the right thing.<p>From your experience, what are some situations when it's not suggested to shield the team you lead?
