When you run into an issue at work, don’t just tell your manager or team "Hey, this broke, what should I do?" Instead, always pair the problem with a suggested solution ("Here's what's broken, and here's how I think we can handle it").
This helps in two ways: you won't get branded as "the problem person," and it actively trains your decision-making skills. Managers notice and love this — it's exactly what they look for when deciding promotions because it shows you take ownership.
