Every leader has done it - 'thrown someone in at the deep end.'

But is it the right thing to do? Does it help people grow, sort those who can cope from those who can't, or make them stronger?

Or are those just comforting cliches we use to make us feel better about lazy leadership? Would it be better to work out how well someone can swim and throw them in at the appropriate depth? Perhaps get people wet at the shallow end, teach them to swim and nudge them into deeper waters equipped with the skills and confidence they need to thrive there?
