The Hidden Problem in “Just Tell Me What to Do”
Most cottage bakery couples don’t have a motivation problem.
They have a clarity problem.
“Just tell me what to do.”
Sounds helpful… but it usually creates more tension, not less.
Because now one person becomes:
-The manager
-The decision-maker
-The one carrying the mental load
And the other becomes reactive.
That imbalance is where frustration starts.
Not because anyone is doing something wrong…
…but because the structure is missing.
Question for you:
In your bakery right now—who is the default decision-maker?
