Coach: “What’s the real challenge here for you?” “What do you need to get to an estimate?”

Offer help: “What do you need to get unblocked?” “Let’s sit down together and see if we can figure this out.”

Teach: “Here’s what I recommend…”

Etc. You as a manager should be actively helping your employee work through the issue - whether it’s external or internal (growth for them).
