Hi Sandra,
1. Well, it’s a very thought provoking & challenging question!
2.My advice would depend on how motivated, active my PSAs are as well as the number of active EA-2 PSAs under their respective down lines..
3. I would never ask an affiliate who takes on the initiative without any motivation from my side to slow down. I do not think it is wise to slow down a self-motivated person who is leading and taking initiative on his own. This could possibly lead to discouragement and cause him/her to lose interest.
4. Therefore,it would be wiser to step back and watch. See what your PSAs are doing, and allow them to explore. Just be available for them when they have questions, monitor their Versa Ledgers and offer suggestions to help them.
5. There are areas of duplication that each of our PSAs must honestly discern and then build capability on in order to proceed with the business. When the learning process would have already built in our PSAs the confidence of pursuing growth and success in this business, then they can be encouraged to seek leadership positions in a higher level.
6.If as a team leader,I find my PSAs have demonstrated by actual performance on these capabilities, skills and attitudes,then by all means I will encourage them to go beyond EA-2. However, I would emphasize, the pitfalls of leadership without an actual team organization, viz. at the least, the recommended three to five active EA2s to support. To my mind, having an active Team should be the measure of and a proud achievement for one to enjoy the fruits.
7. On the contrary, if I find some of my PSAs need lot of spoon feeding & motivation at every small step they take in progressing in SFI and if they do not have any performing, active down lines, then I would definitely advise them to slow down, requesting them to organise at least a minimum of 3-5 PSAs with EA2 rank before they become team leaders!!

Well, this is how I would go about advising my down line PSAs.
