First Annoyance

Why is it that some people can't stand up for themselves or do anything without approval? I have a woman whom I work with who will constantly come to me and ask questions that I then ask of the upper management. Doesn't she have the guts to ask for herself? I know it's my fault for enabling her behavior. But I can't help it - that's the way I'm wired. If someone asks me a question I will get the answer - even if I have to ask the CEO.

Maybe that's the problem...is she afraid of people who's title is higher than hers? Title and rank does not scare me and respect is earned not awarded.
